What happened
The decisive gap was attack quality. Carson-Newman produced 21 more kills while committing fewer attacking errors relative to volume, a combination that kept Emory & Henry from creating sustained scoring runs.
Emory & Henry’s third-set response mattered: after losing the first two sets by 9 and 13, the Wasps pushed the final frame to 23-25. That did not change the outcome, but it identified a more competitive serve-and-pass baseline.
Key contributors
- Carson-Newman: Emerson Ahsmuhs 19 kills; Emmaline Morris 12; Blair Cherry 32 assists; Chloe Edens 14 digs.
- Emory & Henry: Alex Hester and Mollie Ross 5 kills each; Zoie Pace 11 assists.
What matters next
Carson-Newman should test whether this efficiency travels against a larger block and tougher serving. Emory & Henry’s next step is to raise kill production without losing the defensive resistance that appeared late.
