Scots Fall Short In NCAA Tournament Rematch

MT BERRY, Ga. - Covenant continued its tough nonconference schedule on Friday with a rematch of last year's second round NCAA Tournament match with No. 6 Emory. The Scots took a set off the Eagles, but ultimately it was Emory who emerged as the victors. 

Final: Covenant 1, No. 6 Emory 3

SECOND SET:

  • Kayley Shanfelt had three kills in the early goings as Covenant jumped ahead 9-4.
  • Kills from Hannah Mahtis and Kelsey Carman kept the Scots in front 15-11.
  • After Emory tied the set at 17, a 5-0 Covenant run highlighted by two more kills from Shanfelt gave the Scots a lead they would not concede.
  • Mathis delivered the final kill as Covenant took the set 25-21.

THIRD SET: 

  • The two teams were neck-and-neck at the beginning before 4-0 run for Emory gave it the lead at 10-6.
  • Consecutive kills from Shanfelt and Kennedy Barber kept the Scots within four points at 18-14.
  • Covenant got within three points at 21-18, 22-19, and 23-20, but could not draw any closer as it lost 25-20. 

FOURTH SET: 

  • With the help of three early errors by Emory, Covenant led 5-2.
  • A 9-0 run by the Eagles hurt the Scots as they now trailed 14-7.
  • Covenant clawed its way back to two points as an attack error by Emory made it 16-14.
  • Emory recovered as four of its last five points were kills as it took the set 25-17 and the match.

  • Cali Sandhoff nearly posted a triple-double with 20 assists, nine digs, and eight kills.
