RALEIGH, N.C. – Led by three attackers in double-digits, the NC State volleyball team was edged by Syracuse in a three-set match Sunday afternoon. Syracuse won by a combined eight points between the sets (25-21, 25-23, 26-24).
Jade Parchment led the Pack with a team-high 15 kills in addition to nine digs. Jessica Kemp and Lauryn Terry both contributed 10 kills while Pam Chukwujekwu had six on a .500 hitting percentage. Chukwujekwu also had a hand on all three of the team's blocks. Lydia Adam made an impact for the Pack with a career-high six kills and four digs in addition to a block.
Syracuse was led by Polina Shemanova who recorded 22 kills with a .463 hitting percentage.
MATCH RECAP
In a match that included 29 overall ties and nine lead changes, NC State struck first with a 5-3 lead. The Pack held a lead out to 12-9 before a Syracuse timeout shifted the momentum for the Orange. Syracuse took the lead with a 6-2 run. NC State tied the match twice more but a service error and back-to-back kills from Syracuse put the Orange ahead for good.
The Pack started strong in the second set with a 4-1 lead which included two errors from Syracuse. The Orange worked their way back into the set tying it at 10 but NC State held onto the lead thanks to a kill from Adam. Back-to-back attack errors for the Pack set up an opportunity for Syracuse to move ahead before entering a back and forth battle that saw eight ties.
Similar to the first two sets, NC State jumped out to a solid lead, 11-8, in the third. Syracuse kept chipping away, tying the match at 12. Another tight battle ensued, with NC State eventually going up 24-23. Syracuse was able to avoid set point with a kill from its setter, Elena Karakasi, and took the match on a pair of NC State errors.
