Sheely Double-Double Paces Volleyball Against Brewton-Parker

Brittanie Sheely's double-double helped Wesleyan College volleyball take another step forward despite falling to Brewton-Parker College 3-1 (17-25, 25-23, 12-25, 22-25) at Porter Gymnasium.

Just a week ago, the Pioneers (1-4) struggled against the Barons (11-4) in a straight set loss, but building on last night's win, this contest was much closer contested.

Sheely notched 10 kills to go with 10 digs, becoming the first Wesleyan player to post a double-double since the program was re-instituted last year.

In the second set, the Pioneers limited the Barons to a -.125 hitting percentage. Alaina Avera added 13 digs, one of four Wesleyan players to record double-digit digs.

Wesleyan opens conference play this weekend when the team travels to Maryville College on Saturday to take on league-leading Piedmont College and host Maryville College.
