Volleyball Drops Five Set Loss to Queens

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Oakland University Volleyball wrapped up the Beale Street Challenge on Saturday morning with a five set, 3-2 loss to Queens University (N.C.).

Oakland would get on the board quickly as the first two sets would see the Golden Grizzlies pour on points for the transitioning Royals behind Clarke Adams, Avolyn Lepo, and Jessica Riedl. With strings of runs through both sets, Patti Cesarini and company would go up on an early 2-0 set lead as they held Queens to just 29 points through the first two frames. 

Queens would throw in scoring streak after scoring streak in the third despite a late push from Adams, Gentile, and Anika Prisby saw the Royals push their first set win at 25-18. The fourth set would start out as a back-and-forth affair before the blue jerseys stuffed a 9-0 run en route to a 25-15 set win to knot things up at 2-2.

In the fifth set, Oakland jumped out to a 7-1 lead with kills by Gentile, Cesarini, and Prisby with a few Royal attacking errors mixed in between until Queens climbed back to tie the game at 14-14. The game would then go back-and-forth as both teams would try to throw knockout punch after knockout punch, resulting in the Royals taking the fifth set in extra points at 20-18.
