Tech volleyball fought hard but ultimately fell to u[sic]ga in a tense five-set match last Friday at McCamish Pavilion. Despite the loss, the Jackets delivered one of their strongest performances of the season and set a new Institute attendance record with 5,478 fans packing the stadium. This game’s attendance surpassed the previous record of 5,303 set in 2023 against the Bulldogs.
Set one was a close battle, but the Jackets slightly pulled ahead with a four-point run to win 25-23. Graduate middle blocker DeAndra Pierce and freshman outside hitter Lameen Mambu each had four kills, with Pierce maintaining a perfect attack percentage in the opening set.
