The Moccasins (2-8, 0-3 SSC) were unable to contain a potent Eagles (7-0, 3-0 SSC) offense that hit .494 for the evening to help the Eagles remain unbeaten in 2019. The Mocs will conclude their opening weekend of home conference action on Saturday at 4 p.m. against Florida Tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HOW IT HAPPENED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>After a 2-2 start to the first set, the Eagles powered ahead with a 9-0 run on five kills from Melanie Canfield to lead, 11-2. The Moccasins battled back to pull closer but could not overcome the early Embry-Riddle run as the Eagles held on to win the first set, 25-11.<\/li><li>The second set saw the Moccasins earn their first lead of the match as they went toe-to-toe with the Eagles early in the set.

Embry-Riddle closed out the set and the match with strong hitting, mounting a 13-4 run to win the set, 25-16 and the match, 3-0.<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/fscmocs.prestosports.com\/sports\/wvball\/2019-20\/bios\/bondar_olena\" target=\"_blank\">Lena Bondar<\/a>\u00a0led the Mocs with nine kills, followed by\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/fscmocs.prestosports.com\/sports\/wvball\/2019-20\/bios\/matthews_raeley\" target=\"_blank\">Raeley Matthews<\/a>\u00a0with seven kills and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/fscmocs.prestosports.com\/sports\/wvball\/2019-20\/bios\/martin_rachael_sn2z\" target=\"_blank\">Rachael Martin<\/a>\u00a0with six.\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/fscmocs.prestosports.com\/sports\/wvball\/2019-20\/bios\/garza_mika\" target=\"_blank\">Mika Garza<\/a>\u00a0tallied 29 assists and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/fscmocs.prestosports.com\/sports\/wvball\/2019-20\/bios\/williams_hailey_bt5r\" target=\"_blank\">Hailey Williams<\/a>\u00a0led the team with eight digs.
