CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Mercer volleyball team dropped its season opener to Furman by a 3-1 (23-25, 25-21, 25-22, 25-16) count as part of the Charleston Southern Tournament.  Freshman Molly Locke was credited with a team-high nine kills in the loss.

The statistics for the contest are incomplete based on a technical error at the site of the tournament.  Based on video review, the statistics will be updated at a later date.

Locke was also one of three Mercer players to register double-digit digs in the loss.  Locke's 12 digs were also a team high, while senior Codi Schepp and junior Emily Rochefort each chipped in 10 of their own.
