Uitenham strong in hard-fought loss to UT Southern

PULASKI, Tenn. - XULA Volleyball showed heart and put up a great effort against UT Southern here Saturday, but the Gold Nuggets ultimately fell 3-1 in Southern States Athletic Conference play. 

Xavier took the first set comfortably, 25-16, then fell 25-12 in set 2. From there, the Gold Nuggets and Firehawks played a neck-and-neck contest, with UT Southern winning the third set 25-23 and the fourth 28-26. 

Junior Kamea Uitenham had one of the best showings in program history, scoring 25 total points on 24 kills and 2 block assists. 

Uitenham's 24 kills were just three off of the program record for kills in a match. Kennedy Wade had 27 kills against Bryan in 2022 and Kayla Black 27 against Point in 2019.

Betrice Giusti was another strong performer for XULA, making 20 digs and delivering a pair of service aces. Michaela Clayton and Uitenham added 9 digs apiece.
