Tigers sweep Oglethorpe to close SAA opening pod

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Sewanee closed out its opening Southern Athletic Association pod with a straight-set victory on Sunday, defeating Oglethorpe 3-0 (25-22, 27-25, 25-22) inside Dorough Field House. 

Savannah Gann led the attack with 15 kills on a .375 hitting percentage, while also adding four digs and a block. Mollie White was highly efficient off the bench, hitting .313 with seven kills in two sets of action, and Anna Ellison contributed 10 kills and four block assists. Emma Meyer ran the offense with 39 assists and six digs, while Sophia Caruso anchored the back row with 21 digs.

Sewanee finished with 42 kills on a .234 team hitting percentage, while holding Oglethorpe to .186. The Tigers also tallied seven service aces, led by two from Sydney Bixby and one apiece from Meyer, Caruso, Kennedy, Merkler, and White.

The Tigers opened the match with 13 kills in the first frame, with Gann and Ellison combining for seven. After Oglethorpe pulled even late, the Tigers responded with a 4-1 run, capped by a Gann kill, to take the opener.

The second set proved to be the tightest set of the day featuring 12 ties and four lead changes. The Tigers trailed 24-23 before kills from White and Gann kept the set alive. Ellison followed with a block, and White's kill sealed the extra-point win, 27-25. 

Gann delivered six kills in the final frame, while Ellison and Merkler added key points at the net. Caruso's defense steadied the back row, and a late block from the Tigers helped secure the sweep.

The Tigers improve to 8-5 overall and 2-1 in conference play with the win. Sewanee returns on the road for seven matches, traveling to Berry for the second SAA pod of the year, with matches against Rhodes, Trinity, and Berry on Sept. 27-28.
