Little Rock turns in best performance of the year, sweeps opening match at UT Martin

MARTIN, Tenn. — With little room for error in the remaining two weeks of the season, Little Rock played loose and relaxed Thursday to open a back-to-back against UT Martin, and it paid off as the Trojans routed the host Skyhawks 3-0 in a much-needed win at Skyhawk Fieldhouse.

Little Rock (8-18, 5-10 OVC) hit for a season-best .263 percent, Bella Cherry had a game-high 13 kills and Dariana Valencia recorded a 22-assist, 12-dig double-double to lead the Trojans past UT Martin (8-17, 6-9). Little Rock improved to 3-9 on the road with scores of 25-19, 25-20 and 25-18.
