Phoenix Outlast Point in Five-Set Home Thriller

LEBANON, Tenn.--Cumberland returned to the Dallas Floyd Phoenix Arena and held off Point University in a five-set battle Saturday, defeating the Skyhawks 25-21, 25-17, 19-25, 24-26, 15-12.

Bianca Guceanu contributed nine kills and 13 digs, while Jacey Hubbell added nine kills. Shadix posted eight kills on a .333 attacking percentage, and Hailey Jones finished with seven kills and four blocks. Emma Carter recorded five aces in just two sets of action as Cumberland finished the decisive fifth set with 10 kills and only one attack error for a .562 hitting percentage.

Cumberland finished with 61 kills and hit .238 for the match. The Phoenix also registered 16 service aces and 63 digs.

Point finished with 43 kills and a .186 attacking percentage while totaling 52 digs, 11 blocks and 10 service aces. Marley Manning led the Skyhawks with 14 kills, six digs and two aces, while Danielle Coker posted seven kills on a .375 hitting percentage and a match-high eight blocks. Tianna Kynard added eight kills, and Chloe Painter directed the offense with 36 assists and eight digs. Alayna Helmer led Point defensively with 21 digs. 

The Phoenix took control of the opening set with a seven-point run that turned a 10-8 advantage into a commanding 17-8 lead. Point chipped away at the deficit late, but Cumberland closed out the frame 25-21.

Cumberland jumped in front 4-0 in the second set before the Skyhawks eventually rallied to take a 16-14 advantage. Glass helped turn the set around from the service line, delivering two aces during a five-point run that put the Phoenix ahead 19-16.

After Point briefly interrupted the run, Cumberland scored six consecutive points to finish the set. Schnidrig and Liberty Shadix each delivered two kills during the closing stretch as the Phoenix won 25-17 and took a 2-0 lead in the match.

Point responded in the third set. With the score tied at 17, the Skyhawks rattled off six straight points to seize a 23-17 advantage. Cumberland scored the next two points, but Point finished the set with consecutive kills to force a fourth frame.

The Skyhawks appeared poised to send the match to a fifth set after building a 24-20 lead in the fourth. Emma Carter kept Cumberland alive with three consecutive service aces, helping the Phoenix erase all four set points and tie the frame at 24. Point recovered with the final two points, taking the set 26-24.

Neither side led by more than two points during a tightly contested fifth set. The teams traded points through an 11-11 tie before a kill from Sydney Andrews and another Carter ace pushed Cumberland ahead 13-11.

Point pulled within one on a kill from Jasmyn Ceasar, but Hailey Jones answered with a kill to give Cumberland match point. Rogers then finished the contest with a kill to secure the 15-12 victory.

The Phoenix will begin Mid-South Conference play on Tuesday as Cumberland is set to travel to McKenzie, Tennessee to take on Bethel.
