Laura Obert led a balanced Coastal Carolina attack with a game-high 12 kills to lead the host Lady Chants to a 3-0 win over High Point Saturday afternoon at Kimble Arena in Conway. Coastal claimed the victory by a linescore of 30-20, 30- 18, 30-17.

The Panthers (14-12, 4-4 Big South) have dropped three straight after winning six in a row. Coastal, which avenged a Sept. 24 loss to the Panthers in High Point, improves to 14-8 (5-4 in Conference play).

Ashley Johnson led HPU with 11 kills, while Kim Anderson provided a match-high 18 digs for her 30th-straight match in double-figures (the sixth-longest streak in the nation). Michelle Feiser posted 20 assists and eight digs, while Lindsey Pickens added eight kills.

Katherine Jensen and Jennifer Hampton led the Lady Chants with 10 digs each. Hampton also registered a match-high 29 assists.

"It was a real disappointing weekend for us," HPU head coach Chad Esposito said. "Today we played well on defense, but we didn't block well and our offense was very shaky and inconsistent.

"Ashley did step up and help us out offensively, and Kim played very well in the back row, but despite their efforts we were inconsistent."

The Panthers return home for their first home match in 18 days Wednesday night against Wofford. First serve in the Millis Center is set for 7:00 pm.

"We're going to have to learn how to play better on the road at some point, and hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later," Esposito said. "We're looking forward to hopefully getting back in sync at home."
