BOONE, N.C. – Coastal Carolina volleyball ran its program record win-streak to open a season to 11 matches with a 3-0 (25-15, 25-17 25-20) Sun Belt Conference victory on the road at Appalachian State.

Coastal (11-0, 11-0 SBC) scored the first seven points and went on to lead by as many as 13 points at 20-7 in cruising to the opening set victory. Junior Anett Nemeth posted her third kill of the set to make it 11-5 and that kill was the 1,000th of her Chanticleer career.

The second set saw the Chants continue to dominate play as they ran out to a 6-0 lead with four errors by Appalachian State (1-7, 1-7 SBC) and kills by Nemeth and Ani Bozdeva. The Mountaineers fought back to close the gap to 14-12 with a four-point run that was aided by three Coastal Carolina attack errors. The teams traded points before a four-point run by the Chanticleers ended the set at 25-17.

In the final set, Appalachian State built an 8-4 lead before the Chants scored four-straight points to tie the set at 8-8 on a service ace by Nemeth. Trailing 15-10, Coastal scored seven unanswered points to grab a 17-15 lead. Marija Borcic served three aces during the run to lead the Chants. Madison Lowery and Borcic blasted kills for Coastal to take a 24-19 lead and then a service error by the Mountaineers' Emma Reilly ended the set at 25-20.
