Raleigh, VA – Peace College dropped their opening match to Meredith College (23-3-, 30-19, 21-30, 30-19, 8-15) in five games, but bounced back to take down Mary Baldwin College (30-22, 30-19, 30-21) in the night cap on Saturday in a clean sweep.

The Pacers were led on offense by Kelsey Midgett who registered sixteen kills in the match, followed by Nicole Corn (eight kills), and Jordan Morris (seven kills) in the opening match. Setter Erin Pike and Bridget Corbitt shared the duties and combined for thirty-eight set assists versus Meredith. Corn also contributed with thirteen digs with Stephanie Pinnell adding another fourteen.

In the second game Peace came out gunning. The Pacers had even distribution across the board on offense. Desiree Dickens, Shamica Phillips, and Nicole Corn were able to put down eight kills a piece, while Pike and Corbitt matched each other with fourteen set assists. Corn and Stephanie Pinnell led the Peace defensive effort with thirteen and twelve digs respectively.

Peace moves to 8-9 overall (1-6 USA South) and will be back in action on Tuesday night when they travel to Winston Salem, NC where they will take on Salem College, a team that the Pacers have already defeated once this season. First serve is set for 7:00 PM.
