LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Washington and Lee volleyball team improved its overall record to 22-2, 9-0 in the ODAC, by defeating Eastern Mennonite, 9-15, 15-6, 11-15, 15-5, 15-6, on Tuesday evening.

The Generals were led by junior outside hitter Nancy Reinhart (Louisville, Ky./Sacred Heart), who had 16 kills, three aces, and 23 digs.

Freshman outside hitter Ricka Hildebrand (Terre Haute, Ind./Terre Haute S. Vigo) had 16 kills and three blocks and sophomore setter Pam Saulsbury (Ridgely, Md./North Caroline) had a team-high 30 assists.

The Generals amassed 13 aces in the contest, lifting their season total to 237, breaking the old single-season record of 225 set during the 1990 season.

With the loss, Eastern Mennonite fell to 7-3 in the ODAC and 12-11 overall.

Washington and Lee will play its final regular-season match of the season on October 31, when it hosts arch-rival Roanoke College in a 12:00 pm match.
