The Ole Miss volleyball team fell to Memphis 2-3 yesterday (25-16, 21-25, 28-30, 25-20, 10-15) in a hotly contested match, snapping an eight-match winning streak and bringing the Rebels’ record to 9-2 overall.
“We knew coming in that this was a rivalry game and that it was going to be a tough match for us,” head coach Steven McRoberts said.
The Rebels picked up the first set 25-16 in what ended up being the most lopsided set of the match. After a back-and-forth start to the set in which senior Caitlin Wernentin had three kills in the first seven points, the Rebels looked like they would break away, before Memphis went on a 4-1 run to cut the lead to one point.
