NC State senior outside hitter Rebecca Anderson notched five kills and a team-high 11 digs on Senior Night Saturday, but it wasn't enough as the Wolfpack volleyball team was defeated in three games by Atlantic Coast Conference foe Virginia. The Cavaliers won by the scores of 30-25, 30-19, 30-17.
NC State was led offensively by middle blocker Maya Mapp and freshman Adeola Kosoko, who each recorded a team-best six kills. Kosoko and sophomore middle blocker Sarah Ensminger stepped up defensively as well, finishing with two and four total blocks respectively. Sophomore setter Lindi Sheppard finished the evening dishing out 21 assists for the Wolfpack.
Simona Kuipers had 11 kills and Paige Davis notched 10 of her own to lead the Cavaliers to victory. Davis, along with libero Whitney Ashcraft tallied 13 digs each. Alexis Geocaris rounded out Virginia's offensive attack with eight kills and a .350 attack percentage.
NC State finishes the regular season with a record of 3-31, 0-16 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while Virginia ends with an 8-24 record, 2-14 in conference play. The two teams will square off once again when they meet in the play-in game of the ACC Tournament next week.
