CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. ­­– The Wofford volleyball team concluded the 2021 regular season on Saturday afternoon, coming up short at Chattanooga (11-18, 7-9 SoCon) in straight sets, 18-25, 23-25, 20-25, to finish with a 15-13 overall record and 9-7 Southern Conference mark. Freshman Mary Emily Morgan led the Terriers with 12 kills and an ace, while sophomore Emily Hodsdon recorded her team-high ninth double-double of the season with 35 assists and 10 digs.
 
Morgan recorded her fourth double-figure performance of her rookie campaign, connecting on 21 swings for a career-best of .429 hitting, in addition to two digs. Hodsdon tallied 35 of Wofford's 39 assists en route to her 16^th career double-double, while also adding a kill and solo block in the match.
 
Junior Bella Zeman contributed nine kills on 17 swings (.529), while sophomore Sarah Barham added six kills, a block and a dig. Freshman Sarah MacLean finished with five kills, followed by junior Emory Wyatt, with four kills, a block and two digs, and senior Kelly Hubbard with four kills.
 
Chattanooga hit .340 with 46 kills offensively and tallied 10 blocks to control on both ends for the match.
 
Wofford held a dig advantage, 41-35, though, 20 errors attacking would compound over the course of the match as the Terriers finished hitting .215 on 43 kills.
 
Junior Kennedy Smith added two kills and five digs, as Chasidy Sharpe recorded two aces and four digs and Kaitlyn Brown dished three assists and corralled eight digs. Abbey Richman (one ace, five digs), Robyn Krause (three digs) and Millie Loehr (solo block) round out the Terriers' efforts on the evening.
 
The Terriers await the results of Samford (9-17, 8-7 SoCon) at Furman (7-18, 2-13 SoCon) at 7 p.m. to determine their seeding for the 2021 Southern Conference Volleyball Championships, as a Samford loss would grant Wofford the No. 3 seeding, marking a program-best seeding under head coach Lynze Roos.
 
On the other hand, a Samford win would grant the Bulldogs the tiebreak over Wofford by set-win percentage against each other, which would make Wofford the tournament's No. 4 seed – matching its current highest seeding for a third time in five seasons.
 
The 2021 Southern Conference Championships will be held in Birmingham, Ala., at Samford University's Pete Hanna Center.
 
Upon a No. 3 seeding, Wofford will open in the quarterfinals against the No. 6 seed for a 7:30 p.m. CT matchup on Friday, Nov. 19, while a No. 4 seeding would feature a matchup against the No. 5 seed (*potentially Western Carolina, The Citadel or ETSU) at 11:30 a.m. CT on Nov. 19.
