The Shippensburg University volleyball team began its week with a non-conference sweep at Chestnut Hill on Wednesday night inside Sorgenti Arena. Set scores were 25-18, 25-20 and 25-14.
Shippensburg (10-6) used its entire roster in the contest and had nine different players produce a kill and 12 different players record a dig. SU hit .145 as a team; sophomore
Elise Bragg delivered a team-high six kills.
Redshirt-sophomore
Riley Blank and sophomore
Augusta DeVos each finished with five kills without an error.
Three Raiders achieved double-digit digs – with junior
Shea Stevens totaling a team-high 15 on the night. Junior
Jaiden Anderson had 14 assists and 13 digs, while senior
Shay Kolivoski added 11 digs.
With the score 11-8 in the first set, a five-point service run by Anderson helped the Raiders grow a more comfortable advantage. The second set opened with a kill by Blank and a five-point service run by Stevens; SU opened the frame on a 10-2 run.
Shippensburg got a seven-point service run early in the third set by Stevens to take an 8-1 lead, and a four-point run by senior
Kylie Snyder concluded the match.
Chestnut Hill (5-11), which swept Wilmington (Del.) last night, could not overcome 30 attack errors on the night and a negative hitting percentage. The Griffins got five aces from Alex Crespin and a match-high 21 digs from Rachel Mace.
Shippensburg returns to action Friday night at Lackawanna.
