Box Score
DAVIDSON, N.C. -- The Davidson Wildcat volleyball team used three hitters in double figures to shut out the N.C. A&T Aggies, 3-0 (25-10, 25-19, 25-8), in a dominating performance Tuesday night in non-conference volleyball action at Belk Arena.
Junior outside hitter Sarabeth Peele, who paced Davidson (3-14) with 15 kills on just 23 swings, was joined by junior middle blocker Jorden Benedict (11) and junior opposite Erin Lupfer (10) in double-digits in kills. Junior setter Hayley Lawson tallied 32 assists, while junior outside hitter Christine Perzinski led the defense with seven digs.
From start to finish, the Wildcats overpowered the Aggies, hitting .434 (45-9-83) as a team to A&T's -.059 (16-20-68).
Janae Mitchell led the N.C. A&T (1-17) with seven kills and hit a team-best .182 (7-3-22). Setter Amber Inman posted 13 assists, and Tiffany Mellette made a team-best seven digs.
Peele was nearly perfect in the opening set, helping the 'Cats to a dominating 25-10 victory with a 6-of-7 performance. Benedict had six kills in the first set, as the pair accounted for 12 of the team's 17 kills. The Wildcats won the first four points on the opening frame, on kills by Benedict and Lawson and an ace by Perzinski. The Aggies took a timeout after Davidson opened up an 11-5 lead, but the Wildcats busted the set open with an 8-1 run to take a commanding 19-6 lead. Back-to-back putaways from Peele sealed the 25-10 win.
Davidson got off to a slow start in the second set, falling behind 6-4 before knotting the score at 10 on an A&T service error. The teams traded points for the next several possessions, with the score tied four times, until the 'Cats used a 6-2 run to break a 15-15 deadlock and take control of the set. Peele and Lupfer each contributed five kills as the 'Cats took a 2-0 control of the match with a 25-19 win.
The Wildcats won the third set in dominating fashion, turning an early 10-2 lead into a 15-4 margin. Jennifer Chamblee served seven straight points to pull ahead 22-4, before securing the match with a 25-8 win. Peele was a perfect 4-for-4 in the final set, and freshman Ariel Ley was nearly as good, hitting 4-for-5.
Davidson will complete its non-conference play with a 7 p.m. match at Gardner-Webb Friday night before a trip to Southern Conference foe Samford for a 2 p.m. (CT) match Sunday.
