WILMINGTON, Ohio – The Wilmington College volleyball team trailed just twice all evening a 25-16, 25-15, 25-18 sweep of Capital University in Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) action from Fred Raizk Arena on Wednesday evening.
Three seniors - Macee Hamilton, Sydney Geibel and Skylar Carmichael - were honored prior to the match. Additionally, libero Blake O'Brien, who leads all of NCAA Division III volleyball in digs per set at 6.57, set the program's single-season digs record for the rally scoring era.
The Fightin' Quakers were dominant in nearly every facet and trailed just twice - 3-2 in the first set and 1-0 in the second set - in the entire match. WC hit a .237 clip for the match with 40 kills and just nine errors on 131 swings. Perhaps more impressive, the hosts didn't hit into a single block and tallied six of their own including four from Bailey Pohlman.
"The atmosphere tonight was amazing," said Windover. "Our team thrived off of it."
