ROME, Ga. - For the second time in as many days, the Centre volleyball team lost in Southern Athletic Association road action in the state of Georgia, falling to the 21st-ranked Berry Vikings in straight sets.
HIGHLIGHTS
- After winning the opening set by a score of 25-7, Centre led for most of the early portion of the second set before Berry scored six consecutive points midway through the frame, never looking back for a 25-18 win.
- The third set was more of the same as Centre stayed close early on with the Vikings, but Berry came through with a 6-1 run to create distance at about the halfway point of the set and took the win by an identical score of 25-18.
