ELON, N.C. – Elon University volleyball's winning streak came to an end Friday, Oct. 26, as Northeastern bested the Phoenix 3-0 in Schar Center.
 
"Northeastern played a great match tonight," said head coach Mary Tendler. "We couldn't execute well enough to match their level of play. We had moments of playing really good volleyball, but couldn't sustain that for long periods of time."
 
Elon falls to 13-10 with the loss and 4-7 in CAA play. Northeastern has won two in a row and improves to 13-11, 6-5.
 
THE RUNDOWN
With the score even at 10-all in the opening set, the Huskies took off with an 8-1 stretch. Elon couldn't come up with a response, and the visitors earned a 25-15 decision to grab the early lead. The Phoenix put up more of a fight in set two, with a pair of Kam Terry kills allowing the maroon and gold to take an early 6-3 advantage. Later, a Kodi Garcia service ace made it 17-16 in favor of Elon, but NU answered with a 7-1 run. The Phoenix staved off multiple set points to pull to within a point at 24-23, but the guests scored a kill to go up 2-0.
 
NU pulled away early in set three, establishing a 13-5 edge before Elon strung together four unanswered. The Huskies' attack proved too effective, though, as another 7-0 run helped NU put the match away.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
Terry scored a team-high eight kills with 10 digs to lead the Phoenix in the loss. Kellyn Trowse followed with six kills, while Leah Daniel and Alexa Pavlick added five each. Garcia posted 18 assists and Elizabeth Coil recorded three blocks.
