Tigers sweep doubleheader as Meyer reaches 2,500 assists and celebrate senior day

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Emma Meyer reached her 2,500th career assist and Head Coach Nancy Mueller earned her 100th win at Sewanee on Friday afternoon, as the Tigers swept both ends of a home doubleheader, defeating Mississippi University for Women, 3-1, and Covenant, 3-2. 

Sewanee also honored seniors Nicole Radford and Meyer in a Senior Day ceremony between matches. With the two wins, the Tigers closed out their seven-match homestand on a seven-match win streak heading into conference play.

Sewanee opened the day with a strong performance against MUW, hitting .222 in the first set and using a three-point run sparked by kills from Radford and Sophia Caruso to take control. An ace and a kill from Suna Merkler, along with a series of Owl errors, helped Sewanee pull away and secure the opening frame.

The Tigers kept momentum early in the second set, with an ace from Charlotte Lee and kills from Sydney Bixby and Savannah Gann giving Sewanee a 5-1 advantage. MUW responded with an 8-3 run to swing the set in their favor, eventually claiming the second, 26-24

Sewanee regrouped in the third as Ella Reynolds opened with a kill, and the Tigers locked down defensively with back-to-back blocks from Merkler and Anna Ellison, a solo block from Mollie White, and kills from White and Gann to tie the set at 12-12. White closed the set with an ace and two kills in a 4-1 finishing run.

In the fourth, Sewanee took control with a seven-point run featuring an ace from Caruso and a Gann kill to build an 18-7 lead. Kills from White and Ellison and two aces from Keira Baldwin sealed the match.

In the nightcap, the Tigers battled to a five-set victory to secure Mueller's milestone win at Sewanee against Covenant. 

White led Sewanee with 17 kills on .371 hitting, along with an ace. Gann followed with 13 kills, four aces, eight digs, and a block assist. Ellison and Merkler each added 10 kills and three block assists, while Merkler contributed five digs and two aces. Meyer recorded her 10th double-double of the season with 39 assists, 13 digs, two kills, and a block assist, while Caruso anchored the back row with 27 digs, three assists, and two aces.

Sewanee opened the match with a 9-2 run in the first set, highlighted by two kills and an ace from Gann and kills from White, Ellison, and Merkler. The Tigers carried the lead throughout, taking the opening set.

White started the second set with three straight kills and scored Sewanee's first five points. The Tigers built a 16-12 lead after a block from Radford and Merkler and an ace from Merkler, but Covenant rallied with a six-point run. Sewanee regained the lead late on kills from Ellison and Radford before the Scots closed with three straight to even the match.

The Tigers responded with a dominant third set, taking five of the first seven points and later using an 8-3 run powered by White and Gann. After Covenant pulled within one, Sewanee closed the frame on an eight-point unanswered run to go up 2-1.

Covenant forced a fifth set with a pair of mid-set runs in the fourth.

In the decisive fifth, Sewanee took control with a 10-1 surge fueled by three kills from Gann, a block from Gann and Ellison, aces from Baldwin and Merkler, and kills from Meyer, Ellison, and White. A Covenant error sealed the match and the Tigers' seventh straight victory.

Sewanee will head into the SAA Conference tournament as the fourth seed, and will face Centre in the quarterfinals on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 1 PM.
