CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State volleyball team had three players in double figures in each kills and digs on Friday night but the Gamecocks dropped a 3-1 (22-25, 25-17, 25-21, 25-17) match at second-place Austin Peay.

Sophomore Alyx Schulte notched her sixth double-double of the season with a team-high 16 kills and 11 digs to lead the Gamecocks (12-11, 7-5 Ohio Valley Conference). The Cold Spring, Ky., native used a .310 attack percentage to set a new season high in kills, but JSU dropped the match to the Lady Govs (19-6, 10-4 OVC) to split the season series.
