CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga volleyball team developed confidence as the match progressed in recording a 3-0 (27-25, 25-20, 25-14) victory against Wofford stretching a winning streak at Maclellan Gym to three. Sophomore outside Heather Parman (Ooltewah, Tenn.) registered 11 kills and opened up the middle for senior Courtney Barnes (Franklin, Tenn.) and junior Ellie Kuhn (San Antonio, Texas) combined for 22 kills to finish off the Terriers.

"It is nice to get a win and sweep an opponent that is as good as Wofford, who is having a good season," said head coach Lisa Rhodes. "It was great to see us take care of business and not push it, so that we can be ready for Furman tomorrow."

With the win, Chattanooga has won four of its past five matches after dropping the first four to being Southern Conference action and has a 9-16 overall mark. Wofford fell to 2-7 in the conference and 12-15 overall.

"The entire team enjoys playing at home," said Kuhn. "Especially in front of our home crowd. I think we have put on a great show in the last three matches and caming out and won three-straight sets today. That says a lot about a team and the confidence that we are bringing into a match. We will look to carry that into tomorrow's match."

Senior Bailee Chastain (Chattanooga, Tenn.) notched 37 assists during the contest and added a season-high six kills keeping the Wofford defense off balance. Assisting on the attack was sophomore outside Meagan Ernd (Munster, Ind.), who recorded six kills and senior right side Jessica Scott (Lawrence, Kan.) had three attacks hit the floor.

"Bailee did a great job at distributing the offensive pretty evenly and going to the hitters when they are hot," said Rhodes. "I think that she did a nice job of running the offense today."

Leading the defensive effort was sophomore libero Paula Passmore (Merritt Island, Fla.) with 29 digs, while Chastain and Parman added eight each. Barnes and Ernd paced Chattanooga in blocks with three each as the Lady Mocs recorded six total.

"I still think that there is a lot that we can improve upon with our backrow defense today," said coach Rhodes. "We were out of position on a couple points, but found a way to get the ball up. It was not always right to the target, but we did do a good job of chasing balls down and keeping them alive."

Chattanooga was consistent and effective on the afternoon compiling 48 kills, only 11 errors and a .306 attacking percentage and notched at least 15 kills in each frame. The Terriers only committed 14 mistakes, but had 10 less kills than the Lady Mocs.

"Heather has been working hard in practice on different shots and trying different swings," said coach Rhodes. "I think that it has really paid off and she has done a really good job on the blocking front as well."

The first set went back and forth seeing 10 ties and five lead changes as both teams battled it out. Chattanooga grabbed a four-point advantage, 12-8, on a 7-3 run capped by kills from Barnes, Kuhn and Parman forcing a Wofford timeout.

The Terriers responded and cut the deficit to on and then eventually tied the match at 17. From there, the team would tie each other up at 20 through 25-all.The Lady Mocs took the frame on a ball handling error by Wofford and a kill by Chastain , 27-25.

Chattanooga rallied to a 8-4 lead in the second set following three-straight Terrier mistakes, which included a block by Barnes and Scott. The Lady Mocs stretched their lead to four 22-18 on a kill by Parman and then closed the set out scoring on three-striaght rallies capped by a Chastain kill, 25-20.

"The offense was really working for us," said Kuhn. "Courtney and I were getting points today and that is what worked. We could not have done it without the help of strong play from our outsides and right sides, which made their middles have to guess."

In the third set, Wofford took a 4-0 lead but the Lady Mocs would end up knotting it at four after kills by Ernd and Chastain and a block by Chastian and Barnes. The Terriers kept with in striking distance at eight-all, but Chattanooga would go up by four at 13-9 on three-straight kills from Kuhn.
