"Everybody that came on the road trip had an opportunity to play today," said associate head coach James Onikeku. "We accomplished the one goal that we had going into the match, which was minimizing our mistakes. I could see that the team defintely had fun today, which should help us get mentally focused again with an important match against Samford on Wednesday."

In the final non-conference match of the season, sophomore outside Kirsten Beasley (San Antonio, Texas) paced the Lady Mocs offensively with nine kills, one kill shy of a double-double, as she added 10 digs.

"I think Beasley did a fantastic job on the backrow," said Onikeku. "She passed well and played really solid defense. She also led the team in kills and was very consistently. She contributed all the way around for us."

Also helping the Lady Mocs offense was freshman outside Jennifer Kuroski (Acworth, Ga.) with six kills, while sophomore outside Heather Parman (Ooltewah, Tenn.) and junior middle blocker Ellie Kuhn (San Antonio, Texas) each totaled four. Adding three kills each was seniors middle blocker Courtney Barnes (Franklin, Tenn.) and right side Jessica Scott (Lawrence, Kan.).

Running the offense against the Tigers was freshman Tess Kosycarz (Temecula, Calif.) totaling 25 assists and registering six digs.

Sophomore libero Paula Passmore (Merritt Island, Fla.) registered 13 digs on the afternoon as Barnes and Chastain recorded five and six, respectively.

"Paula did better today," said Onikeku. "I really liked the way she communicated with her teammates and the presence she had on the court."

Chattanooga (5-15) totaled 25 kills and hit .338 during the contest and racked up 41 digs in the three set match. The Lady Mocs forced 23 Savannah St. (2-15) mistakes.

In the first set, Chattanooga rolled to a 9-1 advantage on a kill by Beasley. Stretching their lead to 17-6 on a kill by Kosycarz, the Lady Mocs never looked back and closed out the set, 25-8.

The second set had a similar start as the Lady Mocs picked up a 12-1 advantage capped by a block from Barnes and Beasley. Chattanooga then continued to pressure the Tigers and rallied to a 20-5 lead on a kill by Parman. The visitors went on to take a 2-0 lead in the match, 25-8.

Once again, the Lady Mocs began with a 12-1 lead in the third set on a kill from junior defensive specialist Dakota Davis (Cleveland, Tenn.). Chattanooga would take a 17-4 lead on consecutive service aces by Chastain. Scott finished off the match with a kill as the Lady Mocs won their fifth match of the season, 25-10.

The Southern Rail Rivalry Matchup, a year-long series with Samford, kicks off on Wednesday at 7 p.m. inside Maclellan Gym, where the Lady Mocs will be looking to "Pack the Mac" and break the volleyball attendance record on their Dig Pink and Camp Reunion/Youth Night.

Numerous promotional activities have been scheduled for the event including giveaways of pink wristbands and t-shirts to help promote breast cancer awareness. Following the match, the Lady Mocs will conduct an autograph session on the scoring table as a part of youth night.

This is also the McDonald's Mocs Maniancs Match, where students receive double points for attending the match, and free food will be provided to the dedicated students. The Sugar Mocs, Cheerleaders and Pep Band will also be on hand to promote a frenzy environment.
