BALTIMORE, Md. – Senior Jamiee Freeman's 11 kills were not
enough as the GSU volleyball team fell to Towson 3-0 Friday night in conference
action.
The Panthers fell to 2-13 overall and 0-3 in the Colonial
Athletic Association with the loss while the Tigers improved to 15-3 overall
and 2-0 in the CAA with the win.
Freeman was just two digs shy of a double-double with eight
to go along with her 11 kills. Junior libero Emily Averbeck posted a match-best
17 digs in the contest. Defensively junior Andrea Book set the pace for the
Panthers with three block assists while fellow junior Andrea Ezell had a
near-perfect night in blocking with three block assists.
Freshman Dede Bohannon was second in scoring for GSU with
nine kills out of 19 attempts for a .421 average on the night.
Bohannon posted a kill in the first set that tied the score
at 16-all and forced a Towson timeout. GSU took a one point lead, 18-17, but
the Tigers rallied late in the set to take the first game 25-23.
In the second set the Panthers kept it close but fell 25-22
and in the third frame the Tigers' offense proved to be too much for GSU as the
Panthers fell 25-15.
GSU returns to action Saturday as the Panthers travel to
James Madison for a CAA tilt. First serve is set for 7 p.m.
