Yes, But

Bob Jones led 17-15 late in the first set and started the match well, but a Carolina run and a BJU service error handed Carolina the set. Coach Anthony Bennett credited Carolina’s athleticism and coaching, while pointing to Bob Jones’ own errors as an area to address.

What’s Next

The Bruins travel to Misenheimer, North Carolina, for an afternoon tri-match against Mary Baldwin University and Pfeiffer University, aiming to finish the weekend strong.

Bottom Line

After a promising start, Bob Jones lost momentum and couldn’t keep pace; cutting down on self-inflicted errors will be key to bouncing back.
