The Pride trailed in the first game from the start and was down
24-17 before coming back to win.
"That was a great win and an amazing comeback to win set one after
trailing 15-5," Lojko said. "It's extra special to get the win
against a very good Guilford team. I think my team played with
extra enthusiasm in order to get the victory for me."
Sha
McDuffie (Winston-Salem, NC/Parkland) had 13 kills and
Brittany
Hunsucker (Jamestown, NC/Ragsdale) added 11 for GC (5-2).
Dana
Sandknop (Summerfield, NC/Northwest Guilford) had 25
assists and 6 kills. Brittany Freeman led Guilford (5-2) with 11
kills.
Lojko began the season ranked 7th all-time in wins among Division
III women's volleyball coaches. After the ritual dousing in sports
drink – players let her remove her watch first – she
pledged that the team would never do so again.
“All I do is yell at y'all in practice,” Lojko told
the team afterward, “but I have to say that was one of the
most amazing first-game comebacks I've ever seen.”
“Oh, we'll do it at 1,000,” one player responded.
