CHARLESTON, S.C. – Behind a career-high 19 kills from Maggie Seeds, Appalachian State volleyball got back to its winning ways with a 3-1 win over The Citadel on Saturday, Oct. 22 at McAlister Field House.

The Mountaineers (16-7, 8-2) dropped the first set before roaring back to win three-straight over the Bulldogs (7-16, 0-10) to bounce back from a loss to College of Charleston on Friday.

Appalachian held the lead for nearly the entire first set, leading by as many as four points (14-10) before the Bulldogs grabbed a 17-16 lead late in the set.

The Apps tied it up at 19 but The Citadel put the match away with six of the next nine points, which included three errors from the Mountaineers, to take a 25-22 set victory.

ASU fell behind early in the second set before rallying to take a 7-3 lead early on. The Bulldogs made it 7-6 with three-straight points before Appalachian strung together a 7-4 run to make it 14-10.

The Apps never relinquished their lead, scoring 12 of the final 15 points to pick up a 25-14 win. Seeds had four of Appalachian's 12 points during the 12-3 run to put the match away.

The third set saw two early lead changes before the Mountaineers went on a 12-3 run to jump out to a 13-6 lead. The Citadel would not come within less than four points the rest of the way as the Apps cruised to a 25-18 win.

Appalachian dominated the fourth and final set as it opened the finale on a 9-0 run and never trailed in another 25-14 victory. The Apps led 24-8 before a last-gasp effort by The Citadel fell short.

In addition to her 19 kills, Seeds picked up 10 digs for her first double-double of the season. Alison Blasingame, Kelly Rhein and Lindsey Sauls each had eight kills.

Kasey Sauls had a match-high 40 assists to up her career-total to 2,989 assists and Courtney Rhein had 11 digs to push her career-total to 1,110. Rhein needs just 52 more digs to supplant Sheri Leverette for eighth in ASU history.

As a team, the Mountaineers hit .276 and held the Bulldogs to a .098 hitting percentage. The Apps forced 27 errors and committed 20 of their own while The Citadel finished with a 12-10 advantage on blocks.

ASU returns to the Holmes Center on Friday for a 7 p.m. match against UNCG before playing host to Elon at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
