Richmond, VA – Lightning Volleyball nab two wins in Virginia

The Goldey-Beacom College Lightning Volleyball team traveled to Virginia Union University today for a tri-match including the host school Virginia Union University and St. Paul's College. 

The Lightning first opponent was St. Paul's College.  The fight for the lead flipped back and forth until a seven point service run by A.J. Hicks allowed the Lightning took the lead and kept it for the set.  The second set the Lightning had to work their way back from behind.  With the service help of Christine Hudock the Lightning won the second set.  The third set was a service dominated set by the Lightning.  With A.J. Hicks serving three aces in the set the Lightning defeated St. Paul's College 3-0.  A.J. Hicks led the Lightning with 4 service aces, Christine Hudock had 22 digs, and Roni Shaner recorded her first double double with 29 assists and 11 digs.

Less than a half an hour after the 3-0 win over St. Paul's College the Lightning took the court again to play the host Virginia Union University.  The Lightning took the quick lead again in the first set and held on to it to win the first set.  Virginia Union took a quick lead for the second set but Lightning senior Christine Hudock struck with winning 8 service points to put the Lightning into the lead and to keep it for the second set win.  The third set was much like the first with the quick lead coming from the Lightning and holding on to it for their second win of the day and their second sweep.  The Lightning were led again by A.J. Hicks with 7 service aces, Christine Hudock with 15 digs and Roni Shaner with 15 assists.

The Lightning move to 3-0 overall and will host Millersville University on Tuesday, September 9, 2007 at 7:00pm.
