The Eagles came in 3-1 overall after dropping their first conference match to Cape Fear two nights prior. The Bobcats were 2-4 entering the contest as the first conference match.

The Eagles fought back in the second set led by sophomore Ahunna Akpuda. A pair of kills closed out the second set with Wake Tech up 25-22 and really never looked back. With an 8 point lead in the third set, the Eagles' superior athleticism put up strong net play frustrating the Bobcats. BSC fought back, but still lost the game 23-25 and then ran out of gas. The Bobcats couldn't get anything started in the fourth and fell apart defensively in both the front and back row. Wake Tech won the game 25-17, moving to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in conference.
The Bobcats fell to 2-5 overall, 0-1 in conference. BSC's next match will be Saturday, Sept 11th @ 4pm.
