Yuliia Yastrub was two points away from securing the win for Syracuse. With the score tied 16-16 in the fifth set, Yastrub already had 14 kills on Friday night. One more would’ve given the senior SU’s most kills of the game against North Carolina.
Instead, she rose near the left side of the net but couldn’t get over the ball enough to spike into the ground. Her attack was too strong, and the ball floated out of bounds to give North Carolina a one-point lead. Outsider hitter Viktoriia Lokhmanchuk fired into the net, and the Tar Heels won.
