Women's Volleyball Earns Bounce Back Win With Sweep Over Spalding

ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The Fontbonne University women's volleyball team earned its second sweep in its last three games after knocking off Spalding on Saturday.

Final: Fontbonne 3, Spalding 0

(25-14, 25-18, 25-17)

Set Breakdown

Set 1: The Griffins took a commanding 11-4 lead in the first on a kill from Rae Andrews. It was smooth sailing from there offensively for the Griffins cruising to the 25-14 win.

Set 2: Fontbonne led 10-6 but the Golden Eagles were able to meet-up with the Griffins at 14-14 on an attack error. However, the Griffins went on a 7-0 run capped off by Abby Grumich's kill and that gave them more than enough of an advantage to go on for the 25-18 victory.

Set 3: In the third, the Griffins took an 11-6 lead on Hannah Gallagher's kill. Spalding tried to make it interesting late on a Hannah Holland kill to make it a 20-15 contest. The Griffins responded with a 4-0 run and won the match on a service error to earn the sweep win.
