Orange Lose to UNC

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Orange lost to North Carolina, 3-0, in the Women's Building on Sunday. Junior Marina Markova led the Orange with 14 kills and Abby Casiano contributed six blocks.Â
Â
"We played good today," said head coach Leonid Yelin. "But we did not play long enough. Yes, we started off well, but got tired too early. It's a mentally taxing game, and especially hard to get back to winning after two hard road losses. It takes a toll on players over time, makes it hard to want to win."
Â
In the first set, Syracuse (14-6 overall, 3-5 ACC) jumped out to a 10-6 lead before the Tar Heels (15-4, 4-4) climbed back to knot the match at 16 and then outscore the Orange 9-6 to win the set, 25-22. In set two, the Orange mounted a late comeback after being down as many as seven points to tie the set at 21, but the Tar Heels closed with four straight points to take a 2-0 advantage in the match. Set three featured 12 tie scores and seven lead changes before UNC took control for a 25-22 win and a 3-0 match victory.
UP NEXT:
Syracuse is back at home next weekend to host #16 Georgia Tech at 7 PM on Friday, October 22nd. The match will be televised on ACCNX.
