Box Score
MACON, Ga. - The Kennesaw State volleyball team fought valiantly, bout was unable to pull out a victory, falling to intra-state foe Mercer, 3-0 (30-16, 30-17, 30-14) in the University Center on Friday night.
With the win, the Bears move to 10-17 and 2-5 in the Atlantic Sun Conference. The loss is the 12th straight for the Owls, who fall to 1-20 (0- A-Sun) in their first year of play.
KSU jumped out in the first game to take a quick 1-0 lead after a kill by Ginny Frederick. But that would be the last lead the Owls would hold as a -0.67 attack percentage was the detriment to KSU as Mercer won the first game easily.
