LEXINGTON, Va. – The W&L volleyball team improved to 23-4 overall and 9-0 in the ODAC with a 3-0 win over Sweet Briar (6-19, 1-8) on Tuesday evening.

After winning the first set, 25-11, the Generals found themselves tied 11-11 in the second set. Following a side out that made it 12-11 in favor of W&L, junior setter Megan Steinhardt (Cedar Park, Texas/Cedar Park) served out the match as the Generals reeled off 13-straight points, including fours service aces from Steinhardt, to win 25-11. W&L then won the third and final set, 25-16.

Sophomore Marah Schmitz (Phoenix, Md./Dulaney) led the offense with seven kills, while senior Jessica Ulrich (Gettysburg, Pa./Gettysburg), sophomore Louise Brooks (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr) and first-year Megan Daily added five apiece. Steinhardt recorded 18 assists, and Ulrich and senior Kassie Bagley (Midlothian, Va./James River) chipped in four blocks each. Sophomores Jenna Finger (Homer Glen, Ill./Lockport Township) and Summer Goldberg (Marietta, Ga./Woodward Academy) led W&L with seven and eight digs, respectively.

With the win, the Generals have set up a first-place showdown with Randolph-Macon next Wednesday. Both teams will enter the match with perfect 9-0 records in the ODAC, and looking to secure the top-seed in the ODAC Tournament.

The Generals return to the court this weekend when they travel to Huntingdon, Pa., to take part in the Juniata Invitational. W&L opens play against the No. 1 ranked Eagles of Juniata on Friday at 7:00 pm.
