HENDERSON, Tenn. - - Cumberland University volleyball used a strong defensive effort at the net to earn a 3-1 Mid-South Conference victory over Freed-Hardeman, taking the match in four sets.

The Phoenix controlled the match at the net throughout the night, finishing with 13 total team blocks compared to just five for Freed-Hardeman.

CU carried that momentum into the second set, overcoming an early 7-1 deficit as they rallied to tie the set at 9-9 before taking control with a 9-1 run that put the Phoenix ahead 15-10. Cumberland eventually pushed its lead to 23-20 before closing out the set, 25-20.

Freed-Hardeman answered in the third set, holding off a late Cumberland rally to take a 26-24 decision. The Phoenix led 24-21 but couldn't find a way to close it out before the Lady Lions scored five consecutive points to force a fourth set.

The Lady Lions kept that momentum and jumped out to an early 5-1 lead and eventually led as late as 21-20. The Phoenix continued to make plays at the net down the stretch, including consecutive blocks from Jones with Bryant and Schnidrig, before pulling out 25-22 victory to secure the match.
