Having won five of
their last six matches,
the West Georgia Braves
volleyball team entered
play last week with an extra
swagger in their step.
It would be short-lived
however, as the Braves lost
all five of their matches
this week.
On Tuesday, October
4,West Georgia traveled to
Huntsville, Ala. on Tuesday
to take on the Alabama-
Huntsville Chargers in a
Gulf South Conference
(GSC) match-up.
in the first game, the
Braves jumped out to an
early 10-0 lead that left the
Chargers and their crowd
of 268 reeling.
Alabama-Huntsville
slowly crept back into the
game, cutting the Braves
lead to one at 19-18, but
that would be as close as
they would get, as West
Georgia took the first game
30-26.
In the second game,
the tide turned. A Charger
team that looked flat and
lifeless in the first game
came out with a renewed
intensity to begin the
second set.
Alabama-Huntsville
dominated the second
game from the opening
serve and went on to win
30-19.

were well played by both
teams, but ultimately the
Chargers were just too
much for the Braves.
They went on to win the
final two games 30-27
and 30-26.
Despite the loss, three
Braves players finished
with double digit kills.
Carolin Schoeneck led the
team with 23 and Amber
Bamlund and Stephanie
Singleton each finished
with 14.
The Braves made their
way to Arkadelphia, Ark.
on Friday to play in the
Henderson State Classic.
The nationally ranked
Washburn Lady Blues
awaited the Braves in the
first of their four matches.
West Georgia was up
for the challenge early, but
the Blues were just too
tough. Washburn won the
first two games 30-25 and
30-22.
The Braves answered
in the third game with
a 30-27 win, but in the
fourth game Washburn
absolutely obliterated
West Georgia, winning by
a score of 30-8.
The second match of
the day was against the
Central Arkansas Sugar
Bears and it would not get
any better for the Braves.
The two teams had
hooked up earlier in the
year in a match that Central
Arkansas won 3-1. This
time the Bears swept West
Georgia in three games.
giving the Braves their
third straight loss.
The second day of the
tournament was almost an
exact repeat of the first for
the Braves. West Georgia
fell to Missouri Southern (3-
1) and Harding (3-0) to end
the week without a win.
Overall, West Georgia
is now 16-14 on the year
and 4-3 within the GSC.
They will be in action
again tomorrow night at
7:00 p.m., as they welcome
Montevallo to town.
