Flagler fends off stubborn Lander to advance to tourney final

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Jordan Berglin had a team-high 11 kills, including one on match point, along with nine digs in top-seed Flagler College's 3-2 (25-23, 27-25, 19-25, 22-25, 15-11) win over the No. 5-seed Lander University in the second semifinal of the Peach Belt Conference's Volleyball Championship Saturday evening at the Christenberry Fieldhouse.

With the win, Flagler (21-4) advances to the conference tournament final for the third time in a row and 11th appearance since joining the league in 2009. Flagler will face Augusta University, the No. 2 seed, in Sunday's championship match at 1 p.m. Lander's season concludes with a 13-13 record.

The Saints started the fifth set by scoring the first three points, thanks to a pair of miscues by the Bearcats and a kill by Rebekah Machovec. Lander rallied from a 5-2 deficit and tied the score at 5-all after a kill by Olivia Dow. But a kill by Berglin, the PBC Freshman of the Year, and a block, the Saints took a 7-5 lead, one they would not relinquish.
