CULLOWHEE, N.C. – The Citadel volleyball team fell to Western Carolina over four sets on Friday evening inside the Ramsey Center.

The Bulldogs (6-17, 0-7 SoCon) dropped the first set to the Catamounts but responded in the second, earning a 25-22 win. Western Carolina (8-16, 2-6 SoCon) claimed the last two sets to solidify the win.
 
Junior Megan Sowell posted a double-double for the Bulldogs with 16 digs and a match-high 11 kills. Sophomore Carla Bruce followed in kills for The Citadel, with eight.
 
Senior Rachel Keefer earned a team-high 27 assists, along with eight digs. Junior Samantha Espy led the squad in digs with 24.
