HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Jalyn Stout posted her third consecutive triple-double and the Coastal Carolina volleyball team rallied from a first-set loss to defeat Marshall, 3-1 (21-25, 25-13, 25-20, 25-17), on Saturday at the Cam Henderson Center. 

The Chanticleers (9-4, 2-0 Sun Belt), who had four players with double-digit kills, hit a combined .331 in the victory. Emily Fowler hit .706 (12-0-17) with three service aces, three digs, and two blocks, while CCU received an 11-1-15 (.667) line from junior Anna Rita, who added five blocks. Stout recorded a match-high 15 kills to go along with 22 assists and 12 digs, and Emma Van Elslande had 10 kills with six digs, three service aces, and two blocks. 

Coastal entered the match on a 15-set winning streak against Marshall, having swept the Herd each of the previous two seasons. The Herd broke that streak with its first set victory. The Chants responded decisively in the final three frames, holding MU to hitting percentages of .030, .081, and .189, registering 11 blocks.

"I'm really proud of our group," Chanticleers' head coach Steve Loeswick said. "We put a focus on what is our identity going to be this week, and I thought we came out and executed Coastal Carolina volleyball. It's great feeling to go on the road to start conference play and come away with two wins."
 
Emma Barnett led Marshall (8-7, 0-2 Sun Belt) with 13 kills. Emma Sayre had a match-high 17 digs, and Bella Thompson distributed 24 assists.
