MACON, Ga. - For the second weekend in a row, the Scots took part in a CCS Tri-Match with Wesleyan and Belhaven. As it did seven days ago at home, Covenant won both matches to extend its win streak to seven games.

Records: Covenant (12-10, 8-2 CCS), Belhaven (9-15, 4-7 CCS)

The Scots had no issues in the first two sets, taking those 25-15 and 25-16 respectively. It was the third and fourth sets that were both decided by two points that brought the drama. 

In set three, Belhaven built a four-point lead that Covenant slowly scraped away at. The Scots later held off two set points, before the Blazers clinched a 27-25 win to keep the match going. 

Flash forward to set four, it was the same, but with Covenant taking a four-point lead that Belhaven slowly fought its way back from. With the score tied at 24, a kill from Scarlett Martz followed by a Belhaven attack error, gave Covenant the set and the match. 

The team box score was really close, with Covenant having a 44-41 edge in kills and a 72-68 advantage in digs. The Scots had nine service aces while the Blazers totaled six.
