MACON, Ga. - Captain Cecilia Cortez capped a thrilling comeback with an ace on the match's final point to rally Wesleyan College past Fort Valley State University 3-2 at Porter Gymnasium.
The Pioneers score the school's first win over a higher division school in any sport in years with the victory against the Division II Wildcats.
"I'm extremely proud of the team for getting this win," said head coach J.D. McAlister. "They came together, played as a team and played with the knowledge they were going to win."
The match did not start out in Wesleyan's favor as the Pioneers (2-12) dropped the first set 25-17 and lost the final two points of the second set to lose 25-23, digging themselves a 2-0 hole. The rally began in impressive fashion with Wesleyan cruising to a third set victory 25-16 as the defense forced FVSU (6-20) into 11 errors. The fourth set proved to be closer, but the Pioneers elicited 12 more Wildcat errors to win 25-22.
In the decisive fifth set, Cortez gave the team its 13th ace of the match to clinch the win.
Freshman La'Joi Battle finished with eight kills and five solo blocks to spark the Pioneers. Adrianne Woodward added a great all-around match with five kills, six aces and 12 digs.

Aggressive Offense Carries Wesleyan Past Truett-McConnell
MACON, Ga. - Senior Alaina Avera finished with a team-high eight kills to lead Wesleyan College to its first win of the season, defeating Truett-McConnell College 3-0 at Porter Gymnasium.
The Pioneers (1-9) controlled play for nearly the entire match and limited the Bears (3-3) to a mere .010 hitting percentage in the victory. Wesleyan was coming off a disappointing GSAC tri-match performance, but it would have been hard to know based on their play.
"We took everything we didn't do well [Saturday], fixed it and put it into action today," commented Avera, one of two Wesleyan captains. "Our communication was so much better today. Winning in three sets feels amazing."
The balanced offense saw Adrianne Woodward and La'Joi Battle each contribute seven kills in addition to the captain's eight.
"The back row played well together. The team played well together. The offense played aggressively. Those three things are keys for us and will make the difference the rest of the season," stated head coach J.D. McAllister.
The team's setter rotation of newcomer Hannah Finch and Francie Galbraith worked as planned. Finch finished with nine assists and eight digs while Galbraith added nine assists and three digs. The service game played another key role in the victory as Wesleyan finished with 13 aces.
Liz Norton led the Bears with 14 kills.
Wesleyan travels to Andrew College for an exhibition match versus the in-state Junior College opponent on Wednesday.
