Box Score
GREENSBORO, November 10, 2006 --  Three Aggie seniors came up a few points shy of making their senior night very special. Senior Arlene Mitchell had an excellent chance  – in front of the home crowd – TO accomplish the feat of becoming the first Aggie volleyball player to record 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs.    

And the Aggies had an above average chance of defeating Campbell. But in both cases the Aggies came up short as Campbell defeated the Aggies 3-2 (23-30, 30-24, 19-30, 17-15). The Aggies fell to 16-12 overall, while Campbell improved to 13-17. Despite the disappointing loss, all three seniors played well. Lauren Walker had a career night from her librero position as she finished with a career-high 37 digs.

Darlene Mitchell had 14 kills for her 12^th double-digit kill night of the season, and Arlene Mitchell (20 kills, 20 made an impressive push toward Aggies history. Arlene Mitchell came into the last three matches of the season needing 39 digs to reach 1,000 for a career. She only had one chance to reach the milestone at home, which meant she was likely to accomplish the feat in the MEAC Tournament.

 But she posted 18 digs at High Point on Tuesday and had 14 digs at the end of the first two games on Thursday to give herself a realistic chance to reach the milestone. But the she did not record a dig in the third game, and she recorded her 20^th dig of the game just before match point in Game 5.

 “It would have been nice to win, it would be nice to earn my 1,000^th dig at home, but there is still time and I’m happy about that,’’ said Mitchell. “My main focus is on trying to win a championship.”

 The Aggies were playing championship quality volleyball in the first game as their defense kept the Campbell hitters off balance. In games two and three the Aggies offense faltered. They hit a combined -.013 in those two games combined to fall down 2-1.

 In the fourth game, the Aggies attack came alive as Arlene Mitchell slammed down six kills, and the Aggies were aided by eight Campbell services errors in the game. Two Darlene Mitchell kills and a Campbell attack error gave the Aggies an 11-8 lead in the final game. But two straight attack errors and a kill by the Camels Femi Alabi tied the game at 11. Brittany Rusin gave the Camels a 12-11 lead on a kill that bounced in the front of the outstretched arms of Brenden Chatman.

 The Aggies never regained the lead but fought off match-point three times before Rachel Templin ended the match with a kill. The Aggies  travel to Gardner-Webb on Monday to face the Bulldogs before traveling to Hampton, Va., to compete in the MEAC Tournament Nov. 17-19.
