HATTIESBURG, Miss. ­­— Pearl River showed fight in Monday’s contests against its NAIA foe, but ultimately dropped both ends of its doubleheader at William Carey.

The Wildcats (3-3 overall) fell in the first match to the Crusaders (6-1 Overall) 3-1 (20-25, 21-25, 25-23, 25-15). Pearl River jumped out to an early lead in Set 1, taking four of the first five points, before William Carey rallied back to take the lead and eventually the set. Keeping it close appeared to be a common theme in tonight’s contests as the Wildcats and Crusaders went back and forth in each set before William Carey went on to claim the first match.

Pearl River dropped the second match 3-1 (13-25, 25-23, 22-25, 18-25). In similar fashion to the first match, the Wildcats and Crusaders continued to trade blows throughout the duration of the contest, but Pearl River couldn’t rally to win the match. 

UP NEXT

The Wildcats will return to Shivers Gymnasium on Thursday to host Northwest at 3 p.m.

The match is not open to the public due to the attendance policy for the spring semester.
