GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Guilford College volleyball team (14-8, 5-5 ODAC) added another win to its season total Friday night with a commanding 3-0 sweep (25-18, 25-10, 25-21) over NCAA Division II opponent Erskine College (7-16, 5-9 CC) inside Ragan-Brown Field House.
Â
The Quakers were sharp across all phases, powered by standout serving as
Vivian Cavataio (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) and
Madison Duvall (Sophia, N.C.) combined for nine aces — four from Cavataio and five from Duvall — to keep the Flying Fleet off balance throughout the match.
Â
Natalie Moore (Talbott, Tenn.) led the offense with 12 kills on a .296 hitting percentage, while Duvall followed closely with 10 kills and a .533 mark.
Jillian Mapes (Hodges, S.C.) directed the attack with 32 assists, as Cavataio and
Zoe Whisnant (Greensboro, N.C.) anchored the back row with 10 and eight digs, respectively.
Â
Erskine was paced by Bryce Bendig, who posted seven kills, while Kinslee Smith contributed 12 assists and Kerri O'Shields collected seven digs.
Â
In the opening set, Guilford built an early cushion behind a serving run from Cavataio and kills from Duvall to claim the 25-18 win.
The second frame was all Quakers, as Guilford dominated 25-10 behind Moore's four kills and
 Chrisbel Alcantara's (San Juan, Puerto Rico) three.
Â
The third set saw Erskine battle back, but Guilford's balanced offense and late push from Moore secured the sweep, 25-21.
Â
The Quakers return to action on Tuesday, October 28th, hosting Clinton College at Ragan-Brown Field House. First serve is set for 6:00 p.m.
