Cumberland extended their losing streak to three on Monday, dropping them down to 3-6-1. They fell 2-0 to the Marshall Lions. The Pirates were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Lions apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in October of 2018.
Madelyn McElravy paced Cumberland's offense, picking up six kills. McElravy got some help from Alysa Dittamore and her ten assists.
As for Marshall, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. While they didn't have the best season last year (they finished 12-17), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Marshall to victory, but perhaps none more so than Anna Daughtery, who had seven digs and two aces. Those two aces gave Daughtery a new career-high. Ella Mattas also deserves some recognition as she posted her first assist of the season.
Coming up, Cumberland will challenge Hutsonville/Palestine at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Marshall has already played their next game (against Oblong), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
