Women's Volleyball Sweeps Knights to Finish Transylvania Invite 3-0

Lexington, Ky. - The Berry College Vikings volleyball team wrapped up play at the Transylvania Tournament with a big 3-0 sweep of the Wartburg College Knights on Friday evening in Lexington.

The Knights led most of the way through the first set as the Vikings trailed 18-14. The Vikings sparked to life as a 4-0 run with a kill from Blakely Barnes tied it 18-18. The Knights would quickly take the lead back and go ahead 23-19 but the Vikings gained the upper hand finishing on a 7-1 run led by two kills from Madie Whitehead to take the set 26-24 and take a 1-0 lead.

The Knights looked for a response in the second set as they built a 17-8 lead but the Vikings turned the set around with back to back kills from Maddie Dahl and Madie Whitehead as they rallied to get within 19-16. The Knights would answer with a kill but nothing was going to stop the Vikings as two kills in a row from Lura Underwood sparked a 6-0 run to put the Vikings ahead 22-20. The Knights looked for a response but the Vikings held strong with a kill by Kruk and an ace by Andrea Hurt to seal a 25-22 win and take a 2-0 lead.

The Vikings continued their momentum into the third set as they raced out to a 16-6 lead. This time it would be the Knights who came racing back to pull within 18-15 but the Viking regrouped with a 5-0 run finished off by a kill from Underwood to extend their lead back to 23-15. The Vikings then held strong as they went on to win 25-16 and 3-0.

Whitehead led the Vikings with 11 kills with Ava Brovet led with 28 assists and Hurt led with 12 digs.

The Vikings continue play on the road as they travel to Whitewater, Wisconsin for the UW Whitewater Invite where they will open play against Elmhurst on Friday, September 5 at 8:00 PM.
