MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The Auburn University at Montgomery volleyball team (2-15, GSC: 1-8) dropped a three-set match to the University of Montevallo Falcons (9-11, GSC: 6-4) in a Gulf South Conference match on Thursday evening from Central State Bank Arena. 
 
Senior Kendall McCain hit a major career milestone tonight, competing in her 100th match as a Warhawk. The achievement places her at the top of the program's record book and makes her the only player in AUM volleyball history to appear in triple-digit matches.

McCain marked the occasion with her fourth double-double of the season, leading the Warhawks with a match-high 15 kills and 12 digs.
 
Montevallo saw Katie Wilkerson with 10 kills on a .348 attack percentage.
