After 30 matches this season, the Eastern volleyball team has one more match-up until it calls it curtains for the 2011 season.

The Panthers stand at 10-20 overall and 7-12 in Ohio Valley Conference action and are coming off a split from last weekend and a week of practice.

In Friday’s win against Tennessee Tech, junior Emily Franklin nailed 20 kills and 11 digs and earned 24 kills and 15 digs Saturday in the loss to Jacksonville State as she recorded consecutive kill-dig double-doubles for the weekend marking her at five.

Sophomore Reynae Hutchinson had 14 kills and 11 digs with her 16th career kill-dig double-double and her 13th this season on Saturday.

Head coach Kate Price said she is still proud of what her team has accomplished this season and is looking forward to bringing home their last victory of the 2011 regular season.

Last week, they were knocked out of the post-season by Jacksonville State and Price said that although it is unfortunate, it should only be more motivation to get out there and get one more win.

Also, Eastern will honor two graduating seniors- Chrissie Albers and Brittany Wallace this Saturday.

Albers was named Co-Setter and Defensive Player of the week along with sophomore

Stephanie Arnold.

Last weekend, Albers had eight kills, 18 digs, and 99 assists while Wallace had 23 digs.

This season in general, Albers has 45 kills, almost 900 assists with 891, and 188 kills.

Wallace, the senior libero, has 382 digs and averages almost 3.6 digs a set.

As for Arnold, she registered her first career kill-block double-double behind 10 kills and a career-high 10 blocks.

Arnold is four kills away from 100 and has 14 digs this season.

Price said she is very proud of her team, especially two of her players nabbing awards as the season is

coming to a close.

The Panthers will complete their 2011 season this Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., hosting OVC foe Tennessee-Martin.
