By Tommy Hamzik

GREENSBORO — A momentum shift midway through the match once again proved to be Elon University’s undoing. The Phoenix volleyball team fell into a lull to start the second set in a 3-0 (25-23, 25-13, 25-19) loss to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro on Tuesday night in Fleming Gym. UNCG, which hit .308 (46 kills, 13 assists, 107 attempts) as a team, stole all the momentum early in the second set, racing out to leads of 7-2 and 12-3, both of which prompted Elon timeouts. A stretch later of seven straight Spartans points put them up 21-6. “They put a lot more pressure on us serving,” Elon head coach Mary Tendler said.
