WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Fresh off an emotional Friday victory, the William & Mary volleyball team struggled to summon that same level of intensity in a 3-0 (25-10, 25-22, 25-17) setback against CAA foe Towson on Saturday evening. The Tigers (8-11, 3-3 CAA) finished with a .352 hitting efficiency to down the Tribe (5-9, 1-4 CAA).
 
After dropping the first set, the Green and Gold opened the second period with a 9-5 advantage following a kill from freshman Anne Louise Seekford. However, the Tigers immediately responded with a 7-1 run to grab a 12-10 advantage. The lead was exchanged a few more times as sophomore Julia Brown nailed a kill for a 21-19 Tribe lead. TU then scored three unanswered points and held on to secure the frame.
 
The third set was also close at the mid-point as junior Autumn Brenner found freshman Madeleine Bertz in the middle to cut TU's lead to 15-14. Nonetheless, the Towson defense yielded just three more points in closing out the match.
 
Inside the Numbers
- Brown finished the match hitting .500 after clubbing eight kills in 14 attempts with just one error.
- Sophomore Lauren Moussaid led all players with 14 digs
- Towson committed just 10 attack errors. 

Notes
Moussaid has tallied 10-plus digs in back-to-back matches…It's the third time Brown recorded an attack percentage of at least .500…Seekford served at least two aces for the fourth time…Brenner is now 27 assists away from bumping up to eighth all-time in program history.
