FLORENCE – After dropping the first set against Shorter College, the University of North Alabama volleyball team responded by winning three straight to earn a 3-1 win over the NAIA squad Tuesday evening at Flowers Hall. Alison Jacobs recorded her third triple-double of the season and Lauren Greenhill notched a career-high 21 digs in the 22-25, 26-24, 25-12, 25-21 victory.

The win is the sixth straight for the Lions, who move above the .500 mark for the first time this season. Shorter falls to 11-6 on the year.

In the first set, the Hawks led the entire way, holding off a late UNA rally to get the three-point victory. The Lions held an 18-11 lead in the second set before holding off a rally of their own. Shorter scored five straight points to erase a 24-19 deficit and tie the game before UNA netted the final two points, including a service ace by Brigid O’Brien on set point.

North Alabama dominated the third set, hitting a match-high .371 as a team while the Hawks recorded a .051 team hitting percentage. Sarah Roberts got six of her match-high 20 kills in the final set. The junior from Maryville, Tenn., finished the match with a .333 hitting percentage and added three service aces and two blocks on the night.

After recording triple-doubles on Sept. 11 and Sept. 15 this season, Jacobs hit the milestone again on Tuesday with 14 kills, 40 assists and 10 digs. Cara Gregg added a double-double on the night with 12 kills and 13 digs while O’Brien rounded out the top defensive players with 13 digs for the match.

UNA will return to Gulf South Conference play this weekend with home matches against Valdosta State and West Florida. The Lions will take on VSU Friday at 7 p.m. before hosting the defending GSC champion Argonauts the next day at 1 p.m.
