The Auburn volleyball team lost its second match in a row Sunday afternoon as the Tigers dropped a match to the host Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in four sets, (16-25, 19-25, 25-19, 21-25) to fall to 4-2 on the season.
The Tigers struggled for the first few sets, but came roaring back in the third to pull within one set. However, the potent Georgia Tech offense barely eclipsed Auburn in a tightly contested fourth set to win the match.
The Tigers were led by Emily Klitzke, who had 11 kills, CiCi Silva, who had 10, and Breanna Barksdale and Courtney Crable, who added nine a piece.
Sophomore Alexa Filley continued her strong presence in the middle for Auburn, as she registered 35 assists and 12 kills on the day for her fourth double-double of the year.
Auburn returns to action next weekend when the team travels to Memphis, Tennessee, for the Memphis Invitational. The Tigers' weekend slate includes Arkansas-Little Rock and Memphis on Friday and Tennessee Tech on Saturday.
