WILSON, N.C. – The Barton women's volleyball team (2-8, 1-2) fell to Francis Marion (7-6, 2-2) in a tight, five-set contest by a 3-2 score Tuesday evening at Wilson Gymnasium in a Conference Carolinas match.

Barton was led by senior outside hitter Allison Gambill (Taylorsville, N.C.) with a match-high 16 kills while sophomore middle hitter Sarah Burton (Aynor, S.C.) totaled 12 kills and a team-high five blocks in the setback.  Freshman setter Sadie Hill (Ashland, Ky.) added 36 assists and seven digs for the Bulldogs, who suffered their second straight setback.
