Ivana Kujundzic led the Gamecocks with nine kills, while libero Sarah Cline had a team-best 12 digs. Sarah Reaves led the Sun Devils with 16 kills and 16 digs, while Sara Todorovich compiled a.615 (9-1-13) hitting percentage in the contest. Sarah Johnson had 13 digs, while Margie Giordano added 10 digs. Paige Middelstaedt led both teams with four blocks. In the first set, Arizona State got out to an 8-4 lead before the Gamecocks captured five of the next six points to tie up the match. A Megan Laughlin ace and a Belita Salters spike after an overpass by the Sun Devils helped South Carolina make the run. But the tie did not last, as ASU answered with five of six, including two kills and a block by Todorovich, to get the 14-10 lead. The Garnet got within two on a back-row kill by Hannah Lawing. The teams swapped sideouts until 19-17, when the Sun Devils got a three-point run to stretch their lead to five. The Gamecocks closed to within three before kills by Middelstadt and Reaves got ASU to set point. Kujundzic extended the frame with her kill, but Sonja Markanovich closed it out at 25-20 with her smash. Reaves had seven kills and three digs to lead the Sun Devils, while Todorovich was a perfect 4-for-4. The Sun Devils ran away with a 25-17 win in the second set. A five-point run by Arizona State opened up the gap to 11-5, while later three-point swings made it 17-8 and 22-12. After ASU got to set point, the Carolina Gamecocks kept the frame going with back-to-back kills by Megan Laughlin, but Todorovich ended the set with her third kill of the frame. Giordano was the defensive hero for the Sun Devils, making five digs and adding a solo block in the frame. Laughlin and setter Bridget Denson-Dorman combined to hit.777 in the second, but the team managed just a.083 mark in the frame, hurt by nine attack errors. Cline had 10 digs in the second set alone. Arizona State got an early 8-4 advantage on a revamped Gamecock lineup after consecutive kills by Mittelstaedt, but the Gamecocks cut the lead to one at 12-11 after a block by Laughlin and redshirt freshman Tory Anderson. Reaves would go on a run of her own, getting the next four points on three kills and a block to make it 16-11. A hitting error by South Carolina made it 17-11, but the team would rebound. Kills by Kujundzic and Moorhead and a block by Anderson and Moorhead closed the gap to 17-14. After a Sun Devil block, Moorhead got a kill and combined with Anderson on a block to get within two. After an Arizona State error and timeout, the Gamecocks had a service error and a set error ahead of Mittelstaedt s kill to push the ASU lead to 21-17. After the squads swapped sideouts, South Carolina went on a three-point run to make the score 22-21, thanks to a Salters kill and a block by Salters and Laughlin. But a Sun Devil kill, a Gamecock hitting error and a Marina Mercer spike gave the Sun Devils a 25-21 set three win. 2 Dayton 24 25 20 21 South Carolina 26 17 25 25 Aug. 29, 2008 Tempe, Ariz.

Kujundzic had 20 kills and 18 digs in the big victory, and she was helped by redshirt senior middle blocker Belita Salters 17 kills on a.536 hitting percentage.

After falling behind early in the second thanks to two service errors, the Gamecocks fought back to tie at 7-7, 8-8 and 10-10 before finally taking a lead at 14-13. A guided tip by Kujundzic gave the Garnet and Black a three-point advantage at 19-16, but Rhode Island answered immediately, getting back within one. After trading sideouts, the Rams went on a six-point run to close out the set, 25-22. Kayla Wilson did most of the damage, getting all three of her set two kills in the sequence. Kayla Newberg also had two, including the final blow. Yohannes tallied five kills in the frame. The Gamecocks got an early 7-3 lead in the third set, partly thanks to Salters two early kills. URI tied it up at 11 after kills by Newberg and Welsh, but a Thomas smash put South Carolina back up by two, 14-12. The Rams would take back the lead at 16-15 after Lauren McIntosh spiked a Carolina overpass. The Gamecocks responded with five-consecutive points, including two straight from Laughlin, which forced Rhode Island to use a timeout. Three-straight points by the Rams caused the Gamecocks to use a timeout at 20-19, but that wouldn t stop URI from tying up the match at 20. Two kills from Kujundzic put South Carolina up by two, 22-20 but a Welsh kill and a Lytle dump after the teams swapped sideouts tied it up at 23-23. Two South Carolina errors ended the set in Rhode Island s favor, 25-23. Two service aces for the Rams seem to have been the difference, as the Carolina Gamecocks actually out-hit the Rams,.293-.268. At 7-6 for South Carolina in the fourth set, the Gamecocks got 10 of the next 13 points to take a 17-9 lead. Rhode Island would get within four at 17-13 after a Ram block and two attack errors by the Garnet and again at 22-18, but URI would get no closer. A Kujundzic kill down the line ended the frame, 25-18. The Carolina Gamecocks held Rhode Island to eight kills in the fourth. Cline had six digs and an ace in the frame to lead the Gamecocks. A Lawing ace started the Gamecocks off right in set five, eventually getting a 5-0 advantage. A pair of setting errors stretched the Garnet s lead to 9-3. A pair of Kujundzic kills, including one from the back row, moved Carolina ahead, 11-4. Lytle and Welsh would single-handedly keep the Rams alive, getting four kills in five points to stave off elimination. But a Ram attack error ended the set at 15-10 and the match in favor of the Gamecocks. 6 Stony Brook 18 18 10 South Carolina 25 25 25 Sept. 6, 2008 Kingston, R.I.

The Gamecocks ran out to a 9-5 lead in the first set behind three kills and an ace from Megan Laughlin. The lead grew to 16-10 after a three-point run that included a Laughlin kill and a block by Laughlin and redshirt freshman Tory Anderson. A late four-point run on Laughlin s serve pushed the South Carolina advantage to 22-15. The Bulldogs got consecutive kills from Ann Dylla, but the Gamecocks closed out the frame at 25-17 with back-to-back kills by Hannah Lawing and a smash by Belita Salters. Laughlin had 6.5 points in the frame to lead South Carolina, while the squad hit.317 overall. Georgia got a 10-5 lead in the second set after a four-point run that contained three Gamecocks errors, including one blocking error. The Bulldogs extended the advantage to 17-10 after getting seven out of nine points. South Carolina put together a three-point run to close to within four at 21-17. But the squads traded side outs from there, with Maria Taylor ending the second at 25-20 with her fifth kill of the frame. In the third set, Georgia got an 11-5 lead after a pair of dumps by setter Kathleen Gates came around a Gamecock setting error. The Red and Black continually grew the lead throughout the frame, making it 21-12 after another Gates kill capped a three-point skein. South Carolina tried to make a stand there, putting together a four-point string around a pair of Laughlin kills. Consecutive kills by Ivana Kujundzic, including one from the back row, got the Gamecocks within four. After a set error, South Carolina tied up the match with a five-point run that included two block assists by Salters, first with Lawing, then with Anderson. After using its final timeout, Georgia got to set point after a Lindsay Gehan kill. Taylor then wrapped up the frame, 25-23, with her shot off the block, her fifth kill of the frame. In the fourth, the Bulldogs got out to a 5-2 advantage before the Gamecocks came back behind three Lawing kills to take a 7-6 lead. That would be short-lived, as Georgia took four-straight points to garner a 10-7 lead. That stretched to 12-8 before the Gamecocks closed the gap to one at 13-12. A Taylor smash and a Bulldog block pushed the Georgia lead back to three at 15-12. The advantage grew to 18-14 before a block by freshman Teresa Stenlund and a Georgia error got the Gamecocks to within two. After a service error, South Carolina tied up the frame at 19-19 on kills by Salters and Lawing and a Bulldog hitting error. The Garnet and Black took its second lead in the fourth at 21-20 after a Salters kill and a Georgia setting error, forcing Georgia to use a timeout. But it did not stop Carolina, as the Gamecocks got two more points, including a Lawing ace, to get it to 23-20. After a Gates dump, Kujundzic collected her third kill of the frame to put the Garnet and Black to set point. Valentina Gonzalez extended the set, but just by a point as Kujundzic smashed another ball to give the Gamecocks the 25-22 set win. Sarah Cline had five digs, while Lawing added four kills. Georgia got the first advantage in the final set at 5-2 after kills by Gonzalez and Taylor and a Gamecock error. After the Carolina timeout, Taylor put away another ahead of consecutive kills by Clark to put the Bulldogs up, 8-2. A block by Dylla and Taylor pushed the Bulldog run to seven, but Kujundzic got a kill and an ace to give South Carolina hope at 9-4. But that hope was dashed in the end, as Georgia got to set point on Taylor s final kill. A set error by the Gamecocks ended the set at 15-8 and the match in Georgia s favor. The Bulldogs hit.692 in the final frame. South Carolina had an edge only in digs over Georgia, who out-hit and out-blocked the Gamecocks. 22 South Carolina 25 25 17 25 13 LSU 21 27 25 21 15 Oct. 26, 2008 Baton Rouge, La.

The Gamecocks got out to a 4-1 lead early in the first thanks to three kills by Belita Salters. A pair of Ivana Kujundzic kills, including one from the back row, kept South Carolina to a three-point lead at 8-5. But the Tigers responded with a four-point swing that was bookended by Sam Dabbs dumps. Both teams would get two points in a row before the Gamecocks got four points in a row to get a 16-12 lead. Another three-point run pushed the Garnet and Black lead to 20-15. The Tigers closed the gap to two at 21-19 but the Gamecocks took four of the final six points, which included a Salters solo block, to end it at 25-21. A five-point string staked South Carolina to an 8-3 lead early in the second set. LSU answered though, getting two consecutive points on solo blocks by Brittnee Cooper and Michele Williams before a three-point swing closed the Gamecock lead to 11-9. Twice, the Tigers got within one, at 13-12 and 16-15, yet the Gamecocks responded with three-straight points to get a 19-15 advantage. That grew to 23-17 after another three-point skein. Four-consecutive Gamecock errors brought the Tigers back to 23-21, and Williams tied it with a kill and a solo block. However, Salters and Bridget Denson-Dorman got a block to put Carolina to set point. A hitting error and a Cooper kill gave LSU the chance to end the frame, but Kujundzic got a kill to tie it up at 25-25. Cooper came back to put the Tigers at set point again, and Dabbs got an ace to end the frame in LSU s favor, 27-25. Brittney Johnson, Cooper and Williams all had four kills in the second for LSU, while Elena Martinez had 10 digs in the set. After the Gamecocks took a 6-5 lead in the third, the Tigers came alive, taking the next three points for an 8-6 advantage. A five-point string soon followed to push the LSU advantage to 15-9. A triple block took the Bayou Bengals to an 18-11 lead. Kills by Salters and Kujundzic brought the Gamecocks within five, but that would be as close as they got. Kyna Washington and Williams ended the set at 25-17 with a block, the seventh Tiger block in the frame. LSU also hit.440 in the set. South Carolina got a 5-4 advantage in the fourth, but LSU responded by taking seven of the next eight points to go up, 11-6. That lead was extended to 13-8 after a Williams kill and Washington s smash on an overpass. After falling behind, 18-12, the Gamecocks started on the comeback trail. First, a three-point run started and ended on Hannah Lawing kills made it a three-point affair before consecutive blocks, both assisted by Salters, forced the Tigers to use a timeout with their lead down to one, 19-18. Out of the timeout, however, the Carolina run continued. Another block assist by Salters, her second in the set with Denson-Dorman, followed by an LSU attack missing long and a Lawing back-row tip finding the floor, put South Carolina up, 21-19. Another LSU timeout did not stop the Gamecocks momentum, as Kujundzic made it a seven-point run with her kill. Williams ended the run at 22-20, but a Salters solo block and an LSU error got the Garnet and Black to set point. An attacking error by the visitors kept the frame alive, but Kujundzic wrapped it up at 25-21 with her sixth kill of the frame. Sarah Cline had six digs, while Petra Lorenzi added five in the fourth. In the fifth, LSU took an early 4-1 lead behind two blocks involving Cooper and a net-assisted ace by Williams. The Gamecocks tied it up after two Kujundzic kills and a Tiger error. The Purple and Gold went back up by three after a Angela Bensend kill and consecutive blocks by Johnson and Cooper. After swapping side outs and a Carolina timeout, Laughlin got a solo block ahead of a Meredith Moorhead kill to put the Gamecocks down just one at 9-8. But Williams came back with a kill to set LSU up to just trade side outs the rest of the way. That s what the Tigers did, as Cooper closed the match at 15-13 with a spike. 68 2009 South Carolina Volleyball

Redshirt senior middle blocker Belita Salters fell one attempt short of qualifying for the record books, recording an.857 hitting percentage on 12 kills. Sophomore outside hitter Hannah Lawing tied Salters for top honors in kills with 12, while she hit a career-best.476. Lawing just missed a double-double, collecting nine digs as well. Junior outside hitter Ivana Kujundzic tied Salters and Lawing for the lead in points, making 10 kills and a match-best three aces, while also getting her fourth-straight double-double in SEC play with 13 digs. Junior libero Sarah Cline tied Kujundzic for high honors with her 13 digs. For Arkansas, Christina Lawrence had nine kills. South Carolina got out of the gates quickly in the first set, hitting.500 in the 25-14 win. After the set was tied at 8-8, the Gamecocks took 17 of the next 23 points, making two three-point runs and a five-point skein that put the squad to set point. Lawing was a perfect 5-for-5 in the frame and wrapped it up a kill. The sophomore also made her first solo block of the campaign and a set-best four digs. The Garnet and Black ran away with nine-consecutive points in the second set to give them a 14-7 advantage. Four different Gamecocks collected a kill during the stretch. Arkansas kept fighting, putting together a three-point string to force a Gamecock timeout at 17-12. But South Carolina would finish the job. Salters punctuated the 25-18 win with the clincher, her fourth kill of the frame. Lawing had five kills in the second as well. Coming out of the break, Arkansas looked to get back in the match, taking an early 8-5 advantage. But the Gamecocks responded, as Kujundzic got back-to-back aces to tie up the frame at 8-8. A three-point run on kills by Lawing, Moorhead and Salters put South Carolina on top for good at 12-9. South Carolina continued to stay one step ahead of the Razorbacks, always forcing a side out until a Scanlan dump followed a Lawrence kill to put Arkansas down by just two at 19-17. But Salters stopped the mini-streak with a kill, and senior Dinelia Concepcion served up an ace in between Arkansas attacking errors to put Carolina up 23-17. Salters ended the contest with a spike on an overpass, her sixth kill in a perfect third set. Cline had six of her digs in the final set. The Carolina Gamecocks compiled a.432 hitting percentage on the night while holding the Razorback to.158. South Carolina also had the advantage in assists, digs and aces, while tying Arkansas in blocks. 24 Mississippi 25 19 28 19 South Carolina 22 25 30 25 Nov. 2, 2008 Columbia, S.C.

Kujundzic had 14 kills and 15 digs, while Denson-Dorman added 11 digs to her match-high 50 assists. Sophomore Megan Laughlin contributed 11 kills and a match-best five blocks. Junior libero Sarah Cline made 20 digs, while senior Petra Lorenzi added 12. Salters.467 hitting percentage just edged out Meredith Moorhead s.400 clip (9-1-20) for top honors in that category. The Gamecocks and Rebels battled throughout the first set, with neither team getting more than a three-point advantage. After going down, 20-18, South Carolina responded with a three-point string to take a one-point advantage. The teams swapped side outs, putting the Gamecocks up, 22-21, before backto-back kills by Miranda Kitts swung the momentum and the lead back to the Rebels. Ole Miss captured the final two points on blocks by Kitts and Kieckhaefer to take the frame, 25-22. Kitts collected four kills and three blocks in the first set. South Carolina dominated the second set, running out to a 10-3 lead early on two aces by Lorenzi and three kills by Salters. Mississippi got as close as 12-8 before the Gamecocks stretched the advantage to 17-9 behind two Hannah Lawing kills. Denson-Dorman wrapped it up at 25-19 with a kill. Lorenzi had six digs in the second alone, while Cline had five. The Gamecocks hit.500 in the frame, led by Salters six kills on seven attempts. The third set started much like the second for the Garnet and Black, taking an 8-3 lead behind one solo and one assisted block by Laughlin. This time the Rebels responded, coming back to tie up the match at 9-9 behind two Kitts aces. South Carolina finally got the advantage back at 18-15 on a three-point run that included a Laughlin kill.

The teams swapped points twice more before Salters knocked down another kill at 29-28. Cline clinched the third set with an ace, giving the Gamecocks a 30-28 win in the longest set played by Carolina this season. Salters five and Moorhead s four kills trumped the seven put away by Ole Miss Norris. Kujundzic and Denson-Dorman both had six digs for the Gamecocks. In the fourth, the Rebels got the first advantage at 11-8 on a four-point run than included a Caitlin Keefe block, a Caitlin Weiss kill and a Springer ace.

Later, with the Gamecocks up, 17-16, the squad posted a six-point skein to take a 23-16 advantage. Norris got two more kills ahead of a Kieckhaefer ace to bring Ole Miss within four at 23-19, but the Gamecocks Laughlin got a kill out of the timeout to put the squad to match point.

That break did not help the Garnet and Black, as UT fired off three more points to take the 19-18 advantage. Tennessee went up 21-19 before the Gamecocks responded. Annie Thomas sparked a three-point run that put the squad back up, 22-21, and forced UT to call timeout.

Flynn and Fowler blocked a Gamecock attack to give the Lady Vols a chance to win the first set. But Kujundzic ended that thought with her kill. Denson-Dorman gave South Carolina the chance to end the frame with her second kill, and Kujundzic did that with her shot off the Tennessee block. The Gamecocks got out to an 11-6 to start the second set. Tennessee responded immediately, taking 11 of the next 12 points to take a 17-11 advantage. Four Lady Vol blocks helped get the Big Orange back on top. Another UT three-point string put the Lady Vols up, 22-15. A Carolina Gamecock service error put Tennessee at set point, but the Gamecocks would make a stand there. Lawing made three kills in a five-point skein to close the gap to 24-22, but Fowler wrapped it up with her fourth kill of the frame. The third set started out in Tennessee s favor, as the Lady Vols got out to 5-1 and 9-4 leads. The Gamecocks got it back to 10-7 after kills by Thomas and Lawing, but the Lady Vols got four of the next five points to go back up, 14-8.

A Kujundzic kill made it a one-point frame, and Laughlin followed to tie it up at 24-24. Clarke put UT back to set point with her cross-court smash. Thomas tied it up again with her kill, and a UT blocking error gave South Carolina a set point chance.

Kujundzic and Thomas both had six kills in the third. Tennessee ran out to a 6-2 lead thanks to four kills by Fowler. A three-point Gamecock run brought South Carolina to within one.

Two Fowler kills, including one from the back row, gave Tennessee the 25-16 win. Behind two Gamecocks errors, the Lady Vols took a 4-0 lead in the fifth set. But Tennessee returned the favor, making three different kind of errors to put South Carolina back in the set at 4-3. A three-point UT run, started by Flynn and Powe s block, gave the Lady Vols a 9-5 advantage. A block by Kujundzic and Tory Anderson started the teams trading points until a Laughlin kill and a UT error made it 12-10 for Tennessee. But a block by Alyssa Hilby and Flynn and a Goldman ace put Tennessee to match point.

The Crimson Tide did not help their own cause, making eight attack errors to ring up a -.077 hitting percentage in the first. The second set was much closer after Alabama rebounded from an early 7-3 deficit. A four-point run tied up the match at 7-7, and more than two points never separated the two teams until late. An Alabama service error and a Kujundzic ace pushed the Gamecocks advantage to 23-20, but the Gamecocks gave the points right back on a service error and an Ashley Frazier ace to bring the Crimson Tide back to within one, causing the Gamecocks to use their first timeout. A Webster kill followed by a Buteyn smash gave Alabama the first opportunity to win the set, but South Carolina head coach Ben Somera used his final timeout to try to stop the momentum. It worked, as Lawing s cross-court shot found the floor to tie things up at 24-24. Alabama would get two more shots at set point, first after a Webster kill and later after a South Carolina hitting error. But a service error and a Salters kill dashed the Crimson Tide s hopes. The Gamecocks would then get five tries at set point before coming through, as Lawing rejected a shot to end the frame at 33-31 in favor of the Garnet and Black. Both teams hit extremely well in the frame, with South Carolina just edging past Alabama,.373 to.362. In the third frame, South Carolina used a three-point run to take an 11-7 advantage. Kujundzic and Denson-Dorman both had kills in the stretch. Alabama came right back with three points of their own, but a service error kept the Tide from tying up the set. South Carolina stayed one step ahead until a Webster kill and a Gamecock attack error knotted up the frame at 19-19. After trading side outs, the Gamecocks pulled it together, getting kills from Kujundzic and Denson-Dorman in a four-point stretch to get to set point. A Carolina service error extended the match a point, but Alabama gave it right back with a service error of its own to end the final frame, 25-21. Kujundzic had six kills, while Cline had six digs and Lorenzi five for the Gamecocks in the final set. South Carolina held advantages in hitting percentage, assists, kills and digs, while the Crimson Tide had more aces and blocks than the Gamecocks.

The Gamecocks (21-8, 12-7 SEC) as a team hit.536, the third-highest percentage in program history. Redshirt senior middle blocker Belita Salters led that attack with her.789 mark on 15 kills. That percentage stands second all-time for the Gamecocks, behind Lori Rowe s mark of.870 against Appalachian State in 1983. Junior outside hitter Ivana Kujundzic had 14 kills, while sophomore middle blocker Megan Laughlin had seven kills on 10 attempts without an error and three aces. Sophomore outside hitter Hannah Lawing added six kills on a.500 clip to go with four aces and seven digs. Senior Petra Lorenzi had her second and third kill of the season against the Bulldogs (6-24, 1-18 SEC) and contributed seven assists and eight digs. Junior libero Sarah Cline led all players with 12 digs. Senior Dinelia Concepcion also had four digs. Mississippi State s Ioana Demian had nine kills to top the Bulldogs. After Mississippi State kept the opening set close at 4-4, the Gamecocks went on a four-point run that included kills by Kujundzic and Laughlin and an ace by junior setter Bridget Denson-Dorman. The Garnet and Black later pulled away with a five-point string, helped along by two Lawing aces, to make it 19-8 for the Gamecocks. Four of the final six points in the 25-10 set win came from Kujundzic, who had seven kills in the first frame. After South Carolina s initial breakaway in the second set to 12-5, the Bulldogs got no closer than five points. That came at 13-8, after a kill and ace from Demian. South Carolina shortly took back control, getting a three-point run that had kills by Salters and Kujundzic and a block by the redshirt senior and Denson-Dorman. Kujundzic closed out the second frame as well with a kill. Laughlin had five kills in six swings with Cline making six digs in the 25-14 second. Mississippi State won the first point of the third set on Grace Hoyt s ace, but that would be the last the Maroon and White would take for a while. The Gamecocks reeled off 11-consecutive points, including four kills from Salters, to put the third set out of reach. The Bulldogs did get a three-point run to make it 12-5, but South Carolina would slam the door shortly thereafter. A 10-point skein closed out the frame, which had three Salters spikes and two Laughlin aces, including the match-cincher. Salters had seven kills in the final frame, and the Gamecock defense helped hold the Bulldogs to a -.038 hitting percentage in the set. 30 #14 Florida 25 25 22 25 15 South Carolina 27 17 25 21 11 Nov. 26, 2008 Columbia, S.C.

The Gamecocks got out to a 12-5 lead in the first set behind three early blocks, two coming from Lawing. The Gators went on a six-point run to make it a one-point set again, with three Gamecock errors aiding the skein. Florida fell behind, 15-11, but came back to take a 17-16 lead after a five-point string that included three Murphy kills. The teams battled back and forth until the Gamecocks got a set-point chance after a Lawing smash, but Murphy answered to tie up the match again. Then South Carolina looked to be in trouble, as Salters slipped on an attack attempt to give Florida a chance at set point. However, Lawing stepped up with a kill to knot it up again at 25-25. Kujundzic gave the Garnet and Black a chance to win it again with her smash, and a Gator attack went wide, handing South Carolina the first set. Lawing hit.444 with five kills and six digs in the first. The serving game cost the Gamecocks in the second set. Four service errors and four Florida aces proved to be the difference in the 25-17 set-two UF win. After South Carolina took a 4-3 lead, the Gators responded with nine consecutive points, including two Bathelt aces and two Anderson kills. The Gamecocks kept trying to claw back, but Bowers landed two aces to put Florida on top by nine, 20-11. Bowers clinched the set with her second kill at 25-17. Ward had five kills in the second frame alone. Kujundzic nearly won the third set for South Carolina by herself. A Kujundzic kill and a block by the junior and Salters gave the Gamecocks their first real advantage at 14-11. That grew to 16-12 on consecutive Kujundzic smashes. But the Gators would come back, taking a brief 17-16 lead after a five-point run helped by two Gamecock attack errors and one blocking error. A four-point South Carolina swing put the home team back on top at 22-19, with Kujundzic getting three straight kills in the stretch. The Subotica, Serbia, native assisted Laughlin with a block to get the Gamecocks to set point, and Laughlin put it away with her swing. Kujundzic hit.583 with seven kills, three digs and two blocks in the frame. The Gamecocks got leads of 9-6 and 16-13 in the fourth before Florida came back. A five-point Gator run, led by two Ward kills, put Florida on top at 18-16. The Gamecocks tied it up at 20-20 on a Gator error, but Florida rebounded with a Jaeckel kill and a triple block to get the advantage the squad needed. Erin Fleming ended the frame at 25-21 with her only ace of the match. The Gators hit.433 in the fourth, led by Bowers and Ward s five kills. South Carolina fell behind, 4-3 in the first after consecutive attacking errors, but the team responded with back-to-back blocks by Salters and Kujundzic to turn around the set for the time being. Two more Gator errors, one attacking and one serving, put the Gamecocks up, 8-5. But Florida came back with a six-point string, getting two kills from Jaeckel and one each from Callie Rivers and Lauren Bledsoe to take control at 11-8. A Salters solo block and a Laughlin kill on an overpass brought South Carolina to within one at 11-10, but Florida took the next two points on a Bowers smash and a block by Anderson and Jaeckel. A Ward kill put the Gators at match point, and Murphy ended it with a cross-court shot at 15-11. The Gators held the Gamecocks to a -.042 hitting percentage in the final frame. 72 2009 South Carolina Volleyball

Spring Recap Gamecocks Capture SEC Coaches Beach Volleyball Championship South Carolina took home the Commissioner s Trophy from the second SEC Coaches Beach Volleyball Championship, held on Siesta Key near Sarasota, Fla. The Gamecocks boasted of finalists in the top two brackets, including the winners in the silver bracket, Bridget Denson-Dorman and Ivana Kujundzic. They swept through pool play before blasting their way to the finals with wins of 21-8, 21-12 and 21-8. In the finals, the seniors defeated Georgia s duo of Kathleen Gates and Valentina Gonzalez, 21-19. Also in the silver bracket, Megan Laughlin and Lindsey Roy made the semifinals after going 4-2 in their pool to finish second. The pairing won their first-round match in the silver bracket by four and the second-round encounter by six before meeting the buzzsaw of Denson-Dorman and Kujundzic. Last year s top pair from South Carolina, Jordan Bradosky and Hannah Lawing, nearly captured the gold division title. They tied for first in their pool, going 6-2, good enough to earn a bye into the quarterfinals. They trounced Georgia s Carla Tietz and Erika Clark, 21-12 to move on to the semifinals, where they dropped Kentucky s Sarah Rumely and Sarah Mendoza, 21-15. In the finals, the Gamecock pairing had an advantage late, but Tennessee s Kylie Marshall and Nikki Fowler came from behind to gain a 21-19 win and claim the gold title. The freshman grouping of Olivia Ryder and Teresa Stenlund had a tough day on Siesta Key, winning their first set, 21-18 over an LSU team, but they fell the rest of their pool matches. In the bronze bracket, the pairing fell to the eventual champ, Ann Dylla and Briana Bahr of Georgia, in the quarterfinals. The event also featured a few teams from outside the SEC in the Collegiate Beach Volleyball Challenge. Players from the University of South Florida won the gold and bronze brackets, while the University of Central Florida had a pairing claim the silver championship. This was the second SEC Coaches Beach Volleyball event, following the 2008 offering in Gainesville, Fla. The Gamecocks ranked second in the first event, coming in just behind Georgia. The event is among the many sand events across the country held for collegiate teams. The NCAA will vote this academic year on whether to make sand volleyball part of their emerging sports list for women. If approved, the national organization will codify rules for play and participation, with the chance of the sport becoming a fully-sanctioned sport with a national championship like women s rowing or women s bowling if enough teams participate.
