WINCHESTER, Va. – Shenandoah University wasted little time in earning its fifth straight non-conference volleyball victory with a 3-0 sweep of Division II Washington Adventist Wednesday evening.

Shenandoah (11-9) needed just 46 minutes to dispatch the first-year Shock (0-7), winning at 6, 8 and 6.

WAU scored the opening point of the first two sets, on a Hornets attack error and bad set, respectively, but otherwise were overmatched.

SU quickly seized control of the opening set by scoring 11 straight points, including four via service ace from sophomore Kelcy Brown, and coasted home to the win.

A 9-2 run got matters started for the hosts in the middle set with three different freshmen: Brooke Strathy, Katy Griffith and Sara Miller, contributing kills during the spurt.

Shenandoah led throughout the third set, scoring the first four points and never having less than a three-point advantage.

The final point came via a Shock attack error.

All 11 SU women in uniform saw action and each registered at least one positive stat.

Rachel Maki led the victors with a match-high seven kills with Strathy chipping in five. Haley Smith and Mary Harshman rounded out the offense with four and three kills, respectively.

Brown had a match-high 18 assists along with five service aces and five digs.

Shenandoah continues non-conference play by hosting Hood College on Friday night at 6:00.
