Volleyball team falls to Chowan
By PATRICK BRANNAN
The North Carolina Wesleyan
College women’s volleyball team
closed out its home season with a
strong performance, but were de
feated 3-1 by visiting Chowan
College.
The Bishops, falling to 6-21
for the season, put forth a strong
effort as they were forced to play
ironwomen volleyball due to in
juries and player absences.
The Bishops won the first
game 15-7 as they scored the last
13 points of the set. Chowan took
the next three, 15-11,15-13, and
15-8.
Coach Charlie Long said the
team played extremely well
throughout the match. When
asked about the effect of having
only six players. Long said, “It
helped everyone pick up the slack
because they were mentally pre
pared, knowing they were going
to be in the whole time.”
Long was also pleased that
players Julie Salkeld and Jenni
fer Parrish were able to adjust to
new positions as they were forced
to play the entire match.
A tense moment occurred dur
ing the second set of the match as
Parrish fell to the court. She said
she landed on the foot of an op
posing player and turned her
ankle. Parrish was able to remain
in the game, although the injury
did hamper her ability to spike
the ball.
NCWC played a strong first
set as Chowan scored five straight
points and pulled ahead 7-2. Wes
leyan then went on to score 13
points and take the first set, 15-7.
“That’s just volleyball, a mo
mentum sport,” Long said. “You
need to make a set like that to
carry over.”
In the second set, the Bishops
fell behind 4-0 but rallied back to
9-7. Freshman Case Griffin had
two aces in a row to puU within
one at 11-12. Griffin finished with
six aces on the night.
In the third set, Wesleyan went
ahead 67-3 and moved ahead 10-
7 before Chowan rallied to tie the
game at 11-11. The game was
tied twice more before Chowan
pulled ahead for the 15-13 win.
In the fourth set, Wesleyan
again jumped out with two aces
to start the set But Chowan pulled
ahead with eight points to lead 8-
2, then moved ahead 13-4. Wes
leyan fought hard to hold off
match point with a number of im
pressive volleys before Chowan
put away the win, 15-8.
The Bishops’ rally pleased
Long. “I was more pleased with
the fourth set that the others,” he
said.
Juniors Christy Slaw, Jennifer
Parrish, and freshmen Debbie
Cameron and Jade Marinelli all
had six kills for the night. The
Bishops hit the floor hard, regis
tering 92 digs in the match.
Despite the loss. Long was
pleased that his team “finished
on a high.” The Bishops move on
to the conference tournament, and
Long feels the team is capable of
pulling off an upset.
“We must serve well and cut
down on the service errors,” Long
said. The Bishops had 19 service
errors against Chowan.

He concluded that to find the
future Wesleyan is looking for,
its faculty and administration
should look back.
“We’ve come a long way since
1956, and we’ve bounced back
boldly since 1975, but we have
not yet arrived at the promised
land,” he said. “Have we glimpsed
it? Are we taking up the respon
sibilities that begin in those
dreams? We are when we remem
ber!
“We remember the dream of
our founders and are kindled by
it. Because promise is never with
out peril we remember the terror
and are chastened by it,” he said.
“As we celebrate what we’ve
been and what we are, and re
membering these things and what
love is, we do feel the future un
der our feet, and we are confident
we will keep our college.”
