Lili Henry: The sophomore setter for the Methodist volleyball team had two kills, 33 assists and ten digs as the Division III Monarchs lost to Guilford 3-1 at Ragan-Brown Field House in Greensboro. It was Methodist’s first loss of the season. They’re now 2-1. Henry, who was a member of Cedar Ridge’s 2015 Big 8 Conference Championship team, currently is 2nd on the team with 27 digs, and leads the Monarchs with 83 assists.
Bryse Wilson: In a series that the Atlanta Braves bullpen would love to forget, Wilson made his second Major League pitching appearance for the Braves on Monday in an Interleague matchup against the Boston Red Sox. In one inning of work, Wilson gave up three runs on two hits with three walks. The Red Sox won the game 8-2 and went on to sweep the Braves in the three-game series at SunTrust Park. On Wednesday (in a game that Wilson didn’t appear in), the Braves became the first team in 487 Major League games to blow a six-run lead after the 7th inning. Boston trailed 7-1 going into the eighth, but Atlanta’s bullpen gave up eight runs, including a two-run blast to Brandon Phillips in the top of the ninth as the Red Sox completed the sweep with a 9-8 victory. Despite getting swept, Atlanta maintained a three game lead over Philadelphia in the National League East. The Miami Marlins defeated the Phillies 2-1 on Wednesday. On Thursday, Atlanta travels to Arizona to start a west coast road trip. Atlanta, searching for its first division championship since 2013, leads by three games with 23 games remaining in the regular season.
Rachel Shinnick: Now a centerback for the Wofford women’s soccer team, Shinnick entered Sunday’s game against Clemson as a reserve. The Tigers defeated the Terriers 3-0 at Snyder Field in Spartanburg, SC. Shinnick has played in each of Wofford’s six games so far this season. The Terriers are 1-4-2 with their next match set for Friday night against South Carolina Upstate.
Jordan Rogers: On Wednesday night, Rogers made her third straight start for Division III William Peace. In a 9-0 victory over Sweet Briar College at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, Rogers assisted on the Pacers’ third goal of the night, scored by Haley Hinton, who fired into the right corner from the edge of the box. For the game, Rogers finished with three shots, one on net as the Pacers rolled to its first win of the season. On Sunday, Peace played to a scoreless tie against Agnes Scott College at WakeMed Soccer Park. Rogers, a freshman who graduated from Orange in June, has started all three of the Pacers’ games. William Peace hosts Johnson & Wales on Friday night at WakeMed Soccer Park.
Brittany Daley: The former Cedar Ridge centerback came off the bench for Division III Greensboro College on Wednesday night in a 4-0 victory over Emory & Henry at Pride Field. Greensboro outshot the Wasps 25-1 in improving to 3-0. Through the opening three games, Daley started in Saturday’s 10-3 win over Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA. She also came off the bench in the season-opener, a 1-0 win over Guilford College on Friday.
