Phoenix Tournament Run Comes to an End in MSC Quarterfinals

LEBANON, Tenn.--Cumberland volleyball's Mid-South Conference Tournament run came to an end Monday night as the third-seeded Phoenix fell to sixth-seeded Freed-Hardeman, 3-1, at Dallas Floyd Phoenix Arena.

Cumberland claimed the second set to even the match before the Lady Lions edged the Phoenix in an extended third set and closed out the quarterfinal matchup, 25-22, 15-25, 28-26, 25-20.

The Phoenix finished with 48 kills and a .202 hitting percentage, recording 45 assists, 54 digs, 12 blocks and two service aces.

Carola Schnidrig paced Cumberland with 14 kills and nine digs, while Carlee Rogers posted a double-double with 12 kills and 18 assists, adding eight digs and five blocks. Bianca Guceanu and Jacey Hubbell contributed seven kills apiece, and Liberty Shadix added five kills and three blocks.

Emma Chavers handed out a team-high 21 assists to go with six digs. Kaleigh Glass anchored the back row with a match-high 23 digs, while Hailey Jones led the effort at the net with nine blocks, including two solo stops.

Freed-Hardeman totaled 49 kills on a .171 hitting percentage, finishing with 48 assists, 50 digs, seven blocks and 10 service aces.

Marija Cabadaj led the Lady Lions with 14 kills on a .265 hitting percentage and four aces. Teodora Dacic added 11 kills and seven digs, while Olivia Saint contributed nine kills and four blocks. Becca Heineman dished out 23 assists, and Alyssa Austin added 18. Hanae Bezerga and Alex Howard each collected 10 digs.

Cumberland opened the first set with a 4-1 lead and held a 6-3 advantage before Freed-Hardeman scored five straight points to move in front. The Lady Lions stretched the margin to 16-10, but the Phoenix worked back within one at 20-19 following a Jones solo block. Freed-Hardeman answered with four of the next five points, and despite Cumberland fighting off two set points, Cabadaj put away the final kill for a 25-22 decision.

The Phoenix responded with their strongest offensive set of the night, hitting .440 with 14 kills and just three errors in the second. Cumberland scored five straight points for a 5-1 lead and later pushed the advantage to 14-7. Freed-Hardeman trimmed the deficit to 14-12, but a Hubbell kill started a six-point Phoenix run that included two Schnidrig kills and a Glass ace. Cumberland maintained control from there, closing the set with a Rogers-Jones block and a Jones kill to win 25-15.

The third set featured 11 ties and six lead changes as both teams battled for control of the match. Cumberland built a 20-17 advantage and remained ahead at 21-19 before Freed-Hardeman rattled off five straight points to reach set point. The Phoenix answered with four consecutive points, tying the set on a Schnidrig kill before a Rogers-Jones block put CU ahead 25-24. Cumberland earned another set-point opportunity at 26-25, but the Lady Lions scored the final three points, finishing with a Dacic kill to take the set 28-26.

Cumberland jumped ahead 6-3 in the fourth set, but Freed-Hardeman responded with a 7-1 run to take a 10-7 lead. The Phoenix stayed within reach, pulling within one at 16-15 and again at 17-16. The Lady Lions maintained their advantage before using a late three-point spurt to move ahead 23-18. Cumberland fought off one match point, but Freed-Hardeman secured the 25-20 victory to end the Phoenix's tournament run.

Cumberland will await to see if they get an at-large bid into the NAIA National Tournament.
