Danville,
VA – The Peace volleyball team ended the season
on Tuesday with a loss to USA South regular season champions
Averett University in the quarterfinals of the conference
tournament. Peace fell in three games (16-30, 11-30,
15-30) to the Cougars, who would go on to advance to
the NCAA division III national tournament.
Shamica Phillips and Kelsey Midgett both paced the Peace
offense. Both players, who will return next season,
recorded five kills a piece in the match. Jordan Morris
and Nicole Corn led the defensive efforts by recording
10 and 11 digs respectively. Setter Erin Pike had eleven
total set assists to lead the Pacers, while Bridgett
Corbitt chipped in another eight.
Peace finishes the season 12-20 overall (1-13 USA South).
The Pacers will only lose two seniors off of the 2006
squad. Jordan Morris and Stephanie Pinnell donned the
green and white for the last time in the contest. Morris
(Mebane, NC) eclipsed a number of records in her time
at Peace and leaves her name in the books as the best
all time in a number of categories. Pinnell (Louisburg,
NC) battled back from a broken back she suffered in
a serious car accident in the spring of 2005 to finish
her career in brave fashion.
