CHARLESTON, S.C.– The Charleston Southern volleyball team hits the road this weekend to open Big South Conference play. The Bucs will face Gardner-Webb at 6pm on Friday followed by Winthrop at 2pm on Saturday.

The Buccaneers have won eight of their last nine matches after taking the crown in the College of Charleston Invitational last weekend. A 3-1 win over Jacksonville State and a 3-0 sweep of New Orleans highlighted the weekend for CSU. 

Paige Reagor was named to the All-Tournament team after one of the most efficient performances in CSU volleyball history. Reagor tallied 25 kills on 42 total attempts to give her a .527 hitting percentage, the second best single-match hitting percentage in program history. She also recorded a total of 12 blocks in the tournament.

Brooke Monssen was also named to the All-Tournament team as well as the Big South player of the week. Monssen provided offense for the Buccaneers over the week in a variety of ways. Monssen tallied 70 kills through four matches, moving her from 15th in  program history to ninth. She recorded a team high 22 kills in the victory over Jacksonville State, hitting nearly .400 through four sets. Monssen has now tallied double-digit kills in nine consecutive matches for the Buccaneers. Over the four match streak, Monssen hit for an average of .325 with 5.39 kills per set. She also recorded a pair of double doubles over the weekend in tournament play
