The NC State volleyball team remained winless in Atlantic Coast Conference play after suffering a 3-1 defeat to conference foe Virginia Saturday night at Memorial Gym. The Cavaliers took games one and two, 30-26 and 30-18 to jump out to a 2-0 lead in the match, but the Wolfpack would rally back to take game three, 30-26. With a team attack percentage of .429 in the final game, Virginia would prove to be too much for NC State, closing the match with a 30-11 win in game four. The victory moves the Cavaliers to 19-4, 3-4 in the conference, while the loss knocks the Wolfpack to 6-13 overall, 0-6 in the ACC.
Leading the way for the Wolfpack was junior middle blocker Maya Mapp and freshman outside hitter Julia Reis. Mapp finished with a team-best nine kills off a .238 attack percentage, while Reis tacked on another eight kills of her own to go with 13 digs. Senior libero Caroline Frede recorded a match-high 18 digs defensively, and setters Crystal Shannon and Melissa Rabe ended the match with 21 and 12 assists respectively.
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers were led by outside hitter Paige Davis, who ended the night with a match-best 16 kills off a .261 attack percentage, while fellow teammates Shannon Doyle and Lindsay Osco contributed with 11 kills each. Setter Emily Kirkwood dished out a match-high 37 assists to go with 12 digs, and Osco tallied a team-best 15 digs defensively.
The Wolfpack heads back home as it will prepare for its next match, this Tuesday on the road at East Carolina. That match is set to begin at 7 p.m.
