Match Notes:

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Junior outside Heather Parman (Ooltewah, Tenn.) posted a career-high 26 kills along with 10 digs, her the ninth career double-double, for the Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team against UNC Asheville in a 3-1 (25-20, 25-23, 23-25, 25-22) defeat to conclude the Country Inns & Suites Invitational on Saturday. The Mocs started the day dropping a hard fought match to Tennessee Tech, 3-2 (25-17, 25-19, 27-29, 19-25, 15-13). Sophomore Jennifer Kuroski (Acworth, Ga.) registered 44 kills on the weekend and was named to the all-tournament team.

Chattanooga continued to see improvement in the team's all-around performance on the court as the two matches combined for 53 ties and 25 lead changes. The Mocs also notched atleast 10 kills in each set, while limiting their mistakes on the offensive end.

Surpassing a career-high in each match on Saturday was junior right side Christina Teter (Signal Mountain, Tenn.) with 16 and 17 kills, respectively. The Signal Mountain, Tenn., native was effective in committing just five mistakes combined in the two contests for a .415 hitting pct.

A career-best during the match against the Bulldogs was achieved by sophomore setter Tess Kosycarz (Temecula, Calif.) with 61 assists.

Leading the attack against the Golden Eagles was Kuroski with 19 kills, while Parman and freshman outside Jessi Blackstock (Killen, Ala.) added nine and eight each. Kosycarz tallied 44 assists running the Mocs offense.

The defense for the Mocs was consistent in both matches as junior libero Paula Passmore (Merritt Island, Fla.) totaled 23 digs against Tennessee Tech and a season-high 37 vs. the Bulldogs. Also hitting double-figures in digs was freshman Melissa Green (Boca Raton, Fla.) and Parman with a total of 41 and 20, respectively.

Chattanooga's blocking game totaled 10 blocks against the Golden Eagles with freshman middle blocker Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.) and Teter registering four each. Teter contributed three solo blocks in the second match, while three block assists were added by Blackstock.

The Mocs sent the match in to a decisive fifth set with a 25-19 victory in the fourth taking advantage of 11 mistakes by Tennessee Tech. The Golden Eagles were too much as they built a three-point lead at 14-11, but the Mocs would score the next two points before falling.
