LIONS DROP FIVE-SET MATCH TO NORTH FLORIDA

FLORENCE – After dropping the first two sets to visiting North Florida, the University of North Alabama volleyball team had a rally come up short in a 3-2 loss Sunday at Flowers Hall. The 22-25, 14-25, 25-21, 25-22, 8-15 loss keeps the Lions winless in ASUN Conference play at 0-8 on the year. UNA also falls to 2-15 overall.
 
Malaisia Stallworth led UNA with 14 kills and a .464 hitting percentage as the Lions fought off deficits to stay alive in the third and fourth sets.
 
A North Alabama rally came up short in the opening set and the Lions hit .000 as a team in the second game to fall into the early 0-2 hold. Facing a possible sweep in the third set, UNA trailed 5-3 early before taking control. A kill by Jayden Davila-McClary capped a 13-5 run and gave the Lions a 16-10 lead. The Ospreys (8-16 overall, 3-5 ASUN) got within a single point at 22-21 before a kill by Stallworth and two straight service aces by Libby Jump ended the game.
 
In the fourth set, North Florida was within three points of a victory before UNA rallied to stay alive. Trailing 22-18, the Lions closed the game with seven straight points. A kill by Stallworth tied the score at 22-22 before three straight kills by Joise Maldonado gave North Alabama the win and forced a deciding set.
 
North Florida took control early in the fifth set, racing out to a 12-2 lead. UNA strung together five straight points to cut the lead to 12-7 but could get no closer.
 
Maldonado finished with a season-high 11 kills. Madison Ruble also reached double figures with 10 kills and four blocks. Davila-McClary added a double-double with 40 assists and 15 digs.
 
Defensively, Genesis Benítez led the way with 26 digs while Jump added 11 digs to go along with her four service aces.
 
UNA will travel to first-place Kennesaw State on Friday. Match time is set for 7 p.m. (EST) on the KSU campus.
