Nov. 14, 2009

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Freshman Amanda Chaparro had 13 kills in Western Carolina volleyball's 3-1 loss to UNC Greensboro Saturday in the Ramsey Center.

Chaparro was one of two Catamounts to record double figure kills in the match. Sophomore Rebecca Stoltz added 11 kills in the match. Also, defensively Western Carolina had four players with double figure digs - the first for the team this season. Senior Liz Rondone led the club with a season-high 32 digs, Katie Hennessey and Chaparro had 14 and Kara Lynzee Brooks had 11.

The Catamounts started the match slowly dropping the first set 25-14. Western Carolina battled back and took the second set 25-19. Building a 20-15 lead, WCU went 5-4 in the last points to take the set - with UNCG seceding the set off an attack error to end set two.

Western Carolina had the advantage for most of set three, leading 20-18 before UNCG tied the contest at 20 off a kill by Caley Redden. The set was again tied at 21 and 22 when three straight attack errors by the Catamounts gave the set to the Spartans.

The Catamounts continued to be competitive in the fourth set and late in the set tied it at 23. However, a pair of kills by Emily Lindborg gave the set and the match to UNCG.

Western Carolina closed out the 2009 season on Sunday hosting Elon at 3 p.m. The Catamounts will honor seniors Amanda Kerr, Ronone and Hennessey.
