LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. -   The Mississippi University for Women volleyball team did not have the result it hoped for in its season-opening match, falling on the road to Covenant College, 3-0. The Owls (0-1) lost to the Scots (1-0) by set scores of 14-25, 20-25, 11-25 at the Barnes PE Center.
 
A strong CC attack was The W's undoing, as the host Scots piled up more kills (45 to 18) and hit with a greater efficiency (.310 to .035) in the match. Covenant was errorless on receiving attempts, while the Owls committed seven miscues.
 
Sophomore Llayne Skinner paced MUW with five kills and also had a team-best .308 attack average. She also topped the squad with 10 digs on the defensive side, as well as making one block.
 
Amonie Silas added four kills, while Micaela Hudgins and Hannah Duran each booked three kills. Duran chipped in four assists and four digs.
 
Maddy Suggs had nine digs and Camryn Johnson gave off nine assists.
 
The W will next be in action on Saturday (Sept. 3/ 1 p.m.) for a doubleheader versus Pensacola Christian College at Pohl Gym.
