Batesville, Ark.- Crowley's Ridge Volleyball traveled to Batesville, Arkansas challenging the Scots of NCAA DIII Lyon College in a mid-week matchup. Crowley's Ridge, just coming off a swift three-set loss at home against Freed-Hardeman University last Saturday wouldn't see their luck change in their matchup tonight as the Scots bested the Pioneers three sets to none. Good takeaways from the contest were the Pioneers seemed more in sync on the defensive end as the team rallied and won several long volleys. On the offensive side, Emi Elms led the Pioneers with 7 kills. Hannah Halverson led CRC defensibly by stopping several Scot attacks with her 18 digs but wouldn't take all the credit as Heather Conaway also put in the work on the back row by hitting the double-digit mark with 12 more digs for the Pioneers. Lastly, the Pioneers were led in assists by freshman Jillian Glasgow where the Paragould, Ark. native posted a respectable stat line of 9 assists, 9 digs, and 6 kills in the three-set setback. CRC looks to break their two-game losing streak with a revenge matchup against Harris-Stowe State University, who defeated CRC in their season opener with a five-set thriller. The rematch is scheduled for Tuesday, September 26th in the Carter Activities Center at 6:00 pm
