Against Piedmont, senior Christine Denning and Junior Hope Harris both posted double-doubles, as Denning recorded 44 assists and 17 digs, and Harris had 14 kills and 11 digs. Sophomore Shelby Moore led BSC with 16 kills and a .414 attack percentage, as well as five blocks, and senior Jennifer McKannan led with 19 digs.
Both Shelby Moore and Christine Denning were named to the All Tournament team.
Against Huntingdon, Moore led again with 10 kills, sophomore Lauren Reibe led with 22 assists, and Harris led with 13 digs. Moore was also impressive with four blocks.
Prior to BSC's match against Huntingdon, McKannan's father, David, who was diagnosed with ALS three years ago, was honored for his contributions over the last four years to the Panther volleyball program. The team took donations for the ALS Foundation of Alabama, totaling $207, and announced that they would rename the Hilltop Classic to the "McK Attack Classic" in his honor in years to come.
