SWANNANOA, N.C. -- Covenant volleyball concluded their weekend with a sweep of Warren Wilson, 3-0, at the DeVries Athletic Center in Swannanoa on Saturday afternoon.

Covenant started out on a hot streak to begin, as a 7-0 run put them ahead 8-1 early in the first set. A final 7-1 run, which included Carmen Harvey's second ace of the set, gave set one to the Scots, 25-11.

The dominance continued into the second set, as a 13-1 stretch opened up that set. Maik made her mark here, picking up two kills, while Sarah Jennings added two aces. A 9-2 run later in the set, highlighted by four aces by Gerdes, ended the set 25-8 in Covenant's favor.

The Owls (3-17) hung in early in the third set, knotting it at four early on, and then closed it to 14-11 midway through. However, a 14-2 run by the Scots the rest of the way, which had a pair of kills from Addison Hill, ended the match with a 25-13 set score.
