Box Score RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. — Emily Todd turned in a 19-kill effort with 10 digs, Madison Nagel had 28 digs, and Sierra Nighswonger dished out 48 assists with 11 digs, but the Arkansas Tech Golden Suns volleyball team (8-5, 4-1 Great American Conference) was unable to finish its rally against Southern Nazarene (9-3, 3-0 GAC), falling 3-2 to the Crimson Storm on Friday at Tucker Coliseum.

"We played two good sets, but against a top team in the conference you can't play just two good sets, you have to play a full match," said head coach Kristy Bayer. "We were extremely high-error and they were more physical than us today."

The Golden Suns quickly found themselves in a 2-0 hole after SNU won the opening sets 25-19 and 25-22. Arkansas Tech calmed the Storm in the third winning 25-16 and held on for a 25-21 win in the fourth set, but SNU took a 15-12 decision in the fifth set to seal the match win.

SNU held a .170 to .127 advantage in hitting for the match, while outblocking the Golden Suns 13-6.

Sarah Bennett (10 kills) and Katie Huff (11 kills) both posted double-digit kills, while McCall Wilkins assisted on five of Tech's six blocks.

The Golden Suns return to action on Saturday, Sept. 27, traveling to Jackson, Tenn. to face Union and Trevecca Nazarene in a tri-match. Tech faces host Union at noon before facing TNU at 2 p.m.
