BRIDGEWATER, Va. (BC Athletics) – The No. 25 ranked Bridgewater College women’s volleyball team soared past Sweet Briar en route to a straight-set win Friday night on home court.

Score: Bridgewater (BC) 3, Sweet Briar (SBC) 0
Records: BC (15-1, 5-0), SBC (0-15, 0-1)

How It Happened
• The Eagles did not hit the brake; it was all gas. BC pushed to an early 5-1 advantage, then rolled to a commanding 14-3 boost off a six-point streak. Another scoring surge ensued for a dominant 23-6 score. Molly Gardner landed the final point off an ace to grab the first set, 25-7.
• The second set was much like the same as the first set. The Eagles used a massive seven-point scoring run to break away from the opposition freely. Brooklyn Williams sounded out the last point for a 25-11 set score.
• In the third set, the Eagles cruised by the Vixens. A five-point streak set up the set effectively and with that early scoring surge, BC held strong the rest of the way. A 13-point consecutive run carried out the final workings of the match as Virginia Collins cracked the final kill for a 25-11 final set score.

Match Notes
• The Eagles tripled the Vixens in total kills in the match with 35 successful attacks.
• Molly Gardner stunned the Vixens with 10 service aces.
• Maya Veselinovic and Nora Van Horn shared 12 assists each.

Up Next
The Eagles are back in action for their host tournament for the Mary Frances Heishman Invitational on Oct. 16-17 at home.
