GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Megan Hasse tallied a match-high 10 kills to lead Tusculum College to a 3-0 victory over Brevard College on Friday night in South Atlantic Conference volleyball action from Pioneer Arena. It was TC's (7-8, 6-1 SAC) sixth-straight victory.

Tusculum rallied to win the first set 26-24 before taking the second and third sets by identical 25-11 scores. Hasse, a senior outside hitter, also added six digs while sophomore libero Moriah Jones compiled a team-high 16 digs. Junior setter Hannah Berling finished with a match-high 23 assists, and freshman middle blocker Laryssa Welch added seven kills.

Brevard (8-6, 2-5) jumped out to an early 8-2 lead in the first set. However, the Pioneers rallied to tie the game at 15-15, and took their first lead of the match on a big kill by Hasse. After both sides traded the lead twice, the Tornados opened up a 23-19 lead and looked poised to take the first set.

However, the resilient Pioneers began to cut into the lead using a 3-0 run off a huge kill by sophomore outside hitter Rachel Garnett, and two attack errors by BC. After a Brevard timeout, TC tied the match at 23-23 with a kill by freshman outside hitter Sabrina Schleuger, and earned match point off a service ace by Jones.

A kill by the Tornados' Hannah Elmore tied the set at 24-24, and sent the game into extra points. But the game didn't require many additional points, as back-to-back kills by Schleuger gave the Pioneers a 1-0 lead in the match after taking the first set 26-24.

Holding a narrow 10-7 lead in the second set, TC reeled off a 10-1 run to push its advantage to 18-9. The swing in momentum was fueled by Tusculum making some lineup changes, including the addition of freshman middle blocker Mariah Lewis, who finished the mach with three kills. The Pioneers reeled off a 6-0 run to help win the second set 25-11.

After cruising to the second-set victory, Tusculum kept the momentum going in the third game and jumped out to a 14-4 lead due in part to an early 9-0 run. The Pioneers kept their foot on the pedal and used a pair of 3-0 runs, and a 4-0 run, to easily take the third set 25-11 and win the match 3-0.

Senior middle blocker Taylor Boone made her season debut in the third set and recorded three digs. Also in the third set, the Pioneers held the Tornados to a -.156 attack clip, and hit a match-high .320 in the second set.

Elmore and Savannah Cox led Brevard offensively with six kills each, while Alexsandra Vrvilo tallied a match-high 19 digs. Erin Barr dished out 17 assists.

The Pioneers will be back in action tomorrow afternoon when they welcome Lenoir-Rhyne University to Pioneer Arena. First serve is set for 2 p.m.
