CONWAY, S.C. – Talia Johnson put down a career-high 19 kills and Hatteras Welker tied the school record with 13 total blocks as Coastal Carolina rallied from a two-set deficit to defeat Marshall 3-2 Saturday at the HTC Center.
The Chanticleers (7-10, 3-4 Sun Belt Conference) completed the reverse sweep with a 21-25, 20-25, 25-20, 25-15, 15-12 victory in the opening match of the weekend series.
Anzley Rinard recorded her third double-double of the season with 14 kills and a career-best 19 digs, while Bella Loeswick handed out a career-high 48 assists to go along with seven digs and four kills.
Welker finished with two solo blocks and 11 block assists, helping Coastal total 17 blocks and limit Marshall to a .124 hitting percentage. She also contributed nine kills and two service aces. Natalie Hughes added eight blocks, and Anna Rita hit .353 with nine kills.
Coastal never trailed in the deciding set, building a 5-2 lead and extending the margin to 10-6 on consecutive Johnson kills. Marshall closed within one three times down the stretch, but the Chants answered each push.
With Coastal leading 13-12, Rinard delivered a kill to set up match point before Rita and Hughes teamed for a block to complete the comeback.
After dropping the first two sets, Coastal trailed 19-18 in the third before scoring six consecutive points. Johnson had three kills during the run, and Rinard added an ace as the Chants moved ahead 24-19. Johnson finished the set with her eighth kill of the frame to keep Coastal alive.
