JAKE DAVIS [email protected]

The Ole Miss volleyball team’s losing streak extended to five straight matches this weekend after a pair of five-set losses on the road to Tennessee and Alabama. In the first match of the weekend, the Rebels came up short against Tennessee in Knoxville, falling 3-2 to the Volunteers. The two squads battled back and forth to a 17-17 stalemate in the first set, but it was all Tennessee after that. They scored eight of the next nine points to win the set handily at 25-18. The second set was a bludgeoning that seemed to FILE PHOTO: BILLY SCHUERMAN / THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN catch the Rebels off guard.
