Not so “Brave” this time

Southern University women’s volleyball team arose victoriously as they took on Alcorn State on September 23 on Alcorn State’s turf. It was a flawless victory for Southern University as they brought the fight to Alcorn and kept playing to the best of their abilites throughout all three sets. (25-12, 25-19, 25-19)
“Once we hit the gym this week we’ll be able to fight back for our match against Alcorn,” said Melanie Malone last week after being defeated by Alabama State University, and she correctly predicted the outcome in the battle that took place last Friday. Melanie’s prediction was an understatement. The women’s volleyball team beat Alcorn without losing a set.
In the first set, Southern gained the first point as a result of an attack error made by Sydney Mellom. Following that error, Southern scored seven consecutive points. After Southern’s seven point streak, Alcorn put two more on the scoreboard with a kill by Barbara Garrett and the attack error by Shelby Jolly. Alcorn strikes back with two more as a result of a point from Dnanda Smith and the kill from Barbara Garrett. By the end of the set, Southern took home the first set with a score of 12-25.
As the next set starts, Southern gets the first point with an attack error by Sydney Mellom. Melodie Malone, with the attack error ,gives Alcorn their next point. The Jags next four scores points consecutive. The kill by Arabella Hall, ball handling error by Leticia gonzales, then two attack errors, one by Barbara Garrett then by Sydney Mellom. Now Alcorn puts two more points on the scoreboard for this second set. These points were acquired by the service error.
The SU Jags will take on Arkansas-Pine Bluff in Arkansas on Friday, September 30.
