STATESBORO – Katie Bange, Cathrine Murray and Kendra Koetter each recorded a double-double Saturday evening in front of a raucous crowd, leading the Georgia Southern volleyball in a five-set thriller against an undefeated South Carolina team. The Gamecocks were ultimately able to escape Hanner Fieldhouse with a 3-2 win, but the Eagles gave a good showing and kept the Gamecocks on their heels the entire time.
Entering Saturday's match, the Gamecocks (9-0) had given up just three sets all season, including two to Wake Forest on Friday, but the Eagles (6-5) didn't let that intimidate them as they took the second and fourth sets in a wild affair.
