The ETSU volleyball team had three players post double-doubles as the Bucs upset Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon in Brooks Gym, 3-2 (16-25, 25-23, 25-16, 20-25, 15-11).”This was a great carry over from last night,” said head coach Lindsey Devine. “We showed a lot of heart, and if we put everything out on the court and have no regrets then we feel like we will come away with a good result.”

Amanda Youell, Whitney Cogburn and Desiree Dyck each posted a double-double in the match. Youell had another good all-around performance with five kills, 54 assists and 16 digs hitting a team-best .417. Cogburn had 14 kills and 12 digs, while Dyck had a team-high 15 kills and 13 digs.

Junior Alysa Long also tallied double-digit kills with 14 hitting .333. Jen Neice played strong in the back with 24 digs as the Buccaneers had a season-high 94 digs.

“I thought that Kristan Provchy did a fantastic job in set one,” Devine said. “Her leadership and knowledge of the game will really be missed. It was ironic for Amanda to play the team she transferred from on senior day, and to win in five. I think that shows that she wants to close out here career here in the conference tournament.”

Jacksonville used a 10-3 run early in the first set to take a 14-7 advantage. The Dolphins went on to take the set 25-16 on an ETSU attack error to take a 1-0 lead in the match.
