Southern Indiana rallies past Flagler for 3-2 win

ST. AUGUSTINE – Megan Hooks recorded a career-high 20 kills but it wasn't enough as Flagler College lost its season opener 3-2 (17-25, 21-25, 25-22, 25-18, 16-14) to the University of Southern Indiana Friday night at Flagler Gymnasium in the Flagler Saints Invitational.

The Screaming Eagles improved to 2-0 as they swept Brevard College (25-16, 25-14, 25-14) in the first match of the tournament. Valdosta State University defeated Brevard 3-1 (26-24, 25-20, 21-25, 25-13) in the other match on Friday. Last year Flagler lost its season opener and then went on to win seven straight.

Shelbi Morris led Southern Indiana with 14 kills and she completed the double-double with 11 digs. Mikaila Humphrey added 12 kills and hit .273 coming off the bench. Te'Ayla Whitfield added six kills and six blocks assists. Quin Shoultz notched a double-double with 44 assists and 10 digs. Shannon Farrell collected a team-high 16 digs.

The Screaming Eagles hit just .155 for the match, but used a .314 mark in the third set to swing momentum in their favor.
 
In the fifth set, Southern Indiana took a 13-10 lead after a Flagler service error. Following a Saints timeout, a hitting error along with a Flagler double-block and a kill by Taja Valmyr evened the set at 13-all. Later, Amy Zwissler set up the second match point for the Eagles after a kill. Sara Davis' attempt to find the back left-corner went too long to end the match.

Hooks hit .436 for the Saints with only three errors on 39 swings. Davis racked up 17 kills, hit .400 with five errors on 30 swings. She added five block assists to her line. Valmyr recorded a double-double with 12 kills and 13 digs. She added four block assists. Tara Savisky recorded her first double-double of the season with 56 assists and 10 digs. Kayla Norelli collected a match-high 18 digs in her collegiate debut.

Flagler hit .239 as a team with 10 total team blocks. The Saints tallied 17 service errors in the match.

The Saints return to action on Saturday (Sept. 3) against Brevard College at 1 p.m. and then Valdosta State University at 7 p.m.
