WEST FLORIDA HANDS LIONS FIRST HOME LOSS

FLORENCE – Corisha Smith hit .463 and had 22 kills to lead West Florida to a 3-1 victory over North Alabama Friday evening in Gulf South Conference volleyball action. The 24-26, 25-23, 18-25, 26-28 loss was the first of the season for the Lions at Flowers Hall. It also bumped the Lions out of first place in the GSC standings.
 
With one regular-season match remaining, West Florida and Shorter are tied for first place with a 16-3 league record. At 15-4 in GSC play, UNA drops to third place and would need a win on Saturday, plus a loss by second-place Shorter to receive a first-round bye in the upcoming conference tournament.
 
On Friday, the Lions (25-5) had no answer for Smith. The senior from Inwood, West Virginia, added six digs and a pair of blocks on the night. As a team, UWF recorded 13.5 blocks, reaching double figures in the category for the ninth time this season.
 
Four players reached double digits in kills for UNA. Natasha Fomina led the Lions with 14 kills. Peyton added 13 kills while Jessica Austin and Lexie Bradley had 12 kills each. Jayden Davila-McClary notched 53 assists.
 
Defensively, Ashtyn Kapovich turned in a match-high 19 digs. Sarah Ann Tillery also reached double figures with 12 digs on the night.
 
UNA had a chance to extend the match in the fourth set. Trailing 23-18, the Lions scored five straight points to tie the game at 23-23. After the teams traded the next three points to give UWF a 25-24 lead, Bradley recorded a kill and a service ace to give North Alabama a set point at 26-25.
 
The Argonauts, however, responded with three consecutive points to end the match and improve to 23-8 on the season.
 
UNA will host Valdosta State Saturday at 1 p.m. in the regular-season finale for both teams.
