Box Score FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. – The Georgia College Volleyball team (13-4) improved to 6-1 in the month of October with a four-set win at Emmanuel College (12-9) Tuesday night.
The Bobcats nabbed a tough first set 25-23, then dropped the second in extra points 27-25. Georgia College dominated from that point with a 25-15 and 25-12 to close the match.
"We knew tonight would be a tough match, and Emmanuel is a very good blocking team," said head coach Gretchen Krumdieck. "That threw us off our game in the beginning, but we settled down and got into our rhythm. I'm so happy for Chandler (Ewaldsen) getting her 1,000th dig tonight."
Senior libero Chandler Ewaldsen (Savannah) got her 1,000th career dig with her fifth of the contest, finishing with a game-high 23. Ewaldsen is the school's single-game, single-season and career record-holder in digs at Georgia College.
