Wildcats Rally Not Quite Enough Against Rams

COLUMBIA, S.C. – For the first time in 15 days, the Wildcats were able to take the court. Fort Valley State rallied from a set down only to not quite have enough and fall a couple points short in a 3-2 loss at Columbia International.
 
FVSU (3-14) took the opener 25-21, before CIU (12-17) came back to go ahead with set wins of 25-19 and 25-11. The Wildcats rattled nine-straight points on the way to a 25-18 fourth set, but they came up just short in the game-deciding set, 15-12.
 
Nia Bell paced the FVSU attack with 15 kills to go with five total blocks and four digs. India King and Nia Thomas downed seven kills apiece. Rita Davis guided the offense with 25 set assists to go with eight digs and an ace. Ashley Simmons-Blair and Jaelyn Franklin had the team defense with 17 and 15 digs, while Kawonica Ridley lined a pair of aces.
 
With a tied first set, 8-8, Ridley laced her first ace, before Bell and Ashaunti Brown blocked the next two points for an 11-8 advantage. FVSU led by four points three times (14-10, 15-11 and 17-13) until it had a four-point spurt for a 22-16 lead off three Bell kills.
 
FVSU went out to a 5-1 second set lead, but Columbia International rebounded for a 24-14 margin the rest of the way. The home team netted eight points in a row in a 6-6 tied third set to go ahead 2-1.
 
Down 6-4 in set four, the Wildcats put nine consecutive points to reverse the advantage to 10-6 via four King kills. FVSU went on for the 25-18 win.
 
The Rams led 4-0 and 9-5 in the fifth set. A Brown kill and Ridley's second ace pulled the visitors within two points, 12-10, and Thomas killed a point to close for a second time, 14-12. CIU, though, earned the next point to finish the match.
 
FVSU stays in Columbia to face Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foe Benedict College on Thursday night starting at 6:30 p.m.
