CHATTANOOGA — The Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team dropped a 3-0 (25-11, 25-20, 25-23) decision to Southern Conference regular season champion ETSU on Wednesday night inside Macllelan Gym.
 
Following the loss, Chattanooga falls to 15-15 overall and 9-6 in league play. ETSU improves to 20-7 overall and 14-1 in the SoCon, with the lone loss coming against UTC back in early October.

The Bucs and Mocs played a lot tighter the rest of the way, but ultimately the league's top team earned the sweep with 25-20 and 25-23 wins in the second and third sets.
 
Natalie Tyson was responsible for 11 of the team's 37 kills and finished the match attacking at a .225% clip. Tyson added 10 digs to complete the double-double and also chipped in with a solo block.
 
Sydney Hall finished with five kills while Marcelle Baez-Carlo added four off the bench. Hall tied Kate Neill for a team-high in blocks with three with Neill also registering four kills on offense.
 
Paige Gallentine posted a match-high 19 digs with 10 coming in the third and final set. Sophia Bossong added eight digs, directed the offense with a team-high 18 assists, and recorded the team's only ace.
