Box Score

Lynchburg, Va. -- University of Lynchburg's volleyball team cruised to a 25-8, 25-8, 25-15 sweep of Hollins Wednesday night in Old Dominion Athletic Conference play.

The Hornets hit a scalding .383 in the match, their second-best team effort of the season, highlighted by Abbi Leeper's 11 kills and .667 hitting percentage. Annie Tynes had a team-high nine digs and three aces, and Emma Drake added eight kills.

Lynchburg came out swinging, hitting .455 with 13 kills in the first set. The Hornets jumped out to a 17-4 lead before Hollins called a timeout. HU cut the deficit to 19-8, but Lynchburg then ripped off a 6-0 run to claim an early lead, the final point coming on a Michaela Cox ace.

The hosts pulled ahead again early in the second and rolled to victory. The third set was close early with Lynchburg holding an 8-6 lead, but the Hornets took control in the ensuing action, putting the match away on a Nicole Brice and Emma Drake block.

Prior to the match, the Hornets honored the senior class of 2022: Tynes, Flinn Christian, Josey Walton, Drake, and Khoury May.
