HOW IT HAPPENED 

It looked as if the momentum from Wednesday's 3-0 win over Ferrum was carrying over into the battle with Carolina as Guilford opened with a pair of Sydney Hopewell service aces to lead, 2-0. GC was competitive early on, leading 8-7 at one point, but saw its efforts undone as it let up 5-straight points at one point. Carolina claimed the set 25-12.

Set two was tougher, as the Quakers trailed for the entirety, despite a few good plays. They dropped the frame 25-11.

The final set of the contest was by far the best for Guilford, as it traded points with Carolina in the early goings, even leading for a brief moment. GC fell 25-14.
