BRISTOL, Tenn. - The postseason begins Friday night for King University women's volleyball as the Tornado travel to North Carolina to face No. 6 seed University of Mount Olive in the first round of the Conference Carolinas Women's Volleyball Championship. First serve is set for 6:00 p.m. at Kornegay Arena in Mount Olive, N.C.
This matchup adds another chapter to a competitive rivalry, with King holding a 20-7 all-time advantage. However, Mount Olive swept the most recent meeting on October 31, claiming a 3-0 win. The Tornado will look for redemption and a chance to advance deeper into the tournament.
King's balanced attack is powered by outside hitter Cameron Martin and middle Capri Johnson, while setter Ella Kiser leads the offense and serves up aces. Defensively, libero Rylee Blevins anchors the back row, and middle blocker Haley Harnichar controls the net. The Tornado have been particularly strong at home but will look to improve their road fortunes in this win-or-go-home setting.
A victory would send King into the tournament quarterfinals and keep their championship dreams alive. With a chance for payback after last week's loss, expect a focused and determined Tornado squad to take the court in Mount Olive.
