Box Score

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.- Needing only three sets and a little over an hour to complete, the Palm Beach Atlantic University volleyball team dominated their way to a 3-0 win over Northwood University on Tuesday evening in what was a re-scheduled contest from earlier in the season.  PBA improves to 12-14 on the season with one match remaining against Rollins College later this week.

Utilizing nearly her full roster, PBA head coach Beth Avila was able to see some court time for some of her reserves after the regular cast performed at a high level early on in the contest.

Junior Kristin Carroll and senior Jennifer Eldridge led the hitting efforts for Palm Beach Atlantic on the night with each player totaling 10 kills. Carroll did so behind a team-high .370 hitting percentage with 10 kills and zero hitting errors in 27 total attempts.

Eldridge just missed another double-double performance by tying for the team lead with eight digs along with sophomore Meaghan Barber. Jessica Way added 16 assists in the victory while freshman Catie Carlton added four assists and a dig in her two sets of work. Sophomore Janeen McCormick continued her solid showing from the middle-blocker position with five total blocks on the night.

The Seahawks (6-16) were led by Rebecka Ohman with nine kills (.250 hitting percentage) while Cody Kiraly and Kyle Jelke split the setting duties with 11 assists each. Jelke led the way defensively for NU with 15 digs.

Overall the Sailfish held Northwood to a .030 hitting percentage while banging out a .177 overall hitting percentage of their own.

As mentioned, PBA will wrap up their 2009 campaign on Saturday, November 14th as they will hit the road for Winter Park, Florida to take on Rollins College at 5 pm.
