Luck has seemed to fall back downhill for the Aggie volleyball team since their match with the Rams.
Unfortunately, the Aggies were not able to keep up their winning streak losing and ending their season to North Carolina Central (25-21, 23-25, 25-20, 25-16) this past Monday.
The Aggies ended their season 2-31 partly because they lacked depth all season long.Â
They also did not find a coach until it was impossible to add depth to their team and when they finally did hire Toni Conway it wasn’t the best timing.
Conway’s mother had passed away during that period.
The Lady Aggies are in the rebuilding process and Monday’s second set proved to be promising for Conway’s club.
They took a commanding 23-16 lead before winning the set after they suffered a disappointing first set that they let slip away.
The Eagles committed three straight attack errors and Janae Mitchell’s kill closed out the second set.
The third set consisted of a service error and attack errors that destroyed the team’s chances of winning the match.
The blue and gold also lost two previous matches against South Carolina State University and Elon University in the past two weeks.
Senior Tiffany Mellette of the Aggies managed spiked nine kills and fueled the run with 16 digs.
Janae Mitchell finished with 14 kills and six digs while sophomore Bree Dotstry added three kills and four digs.
Amber Inman posted 25 assists and 13 digs.
It was the final career matches for Mitchell who finished the season averaging 2.77 kills per game and Mellette who led the team in digs 2.43 per game.
Other Lady Aggies departures include Stacey Malone and LaShawn White.
White will forgo her final season of elgibility aiding the team’s chances of obtaining a strong recruiting class for the 2010 season.
