HAMPTON, Va. – The Hampton Lady Pirates opened a weekend homestand with a thrilling five-set win over UNC Asheville as the Lady Pirates came from a 2-0 deficit to win 11-25, 21-25, 25-19, 25-19, 15-13 at Holland Hall.

Hampton used a run midway through the fourth set to take a 13-9 lead on a Lena Reed-Petracek ace. The advantage grew to 20-15 before the Bulldogs scored a pair of points forcing a Hampton timeout.
