MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - Senior outside hitter Kadi McCoy (Dallastown H.S./Dallastown, Pa.) became the first player in Goldey-Beacom College volleyball history to record 1,000 career kills as the Lightning split a pair of matches at the Millersville University Marauder Clash to open the 2014 season on Friday afternoon.

McCoy, who set the school career kills record in last year's final match against Felician College, recorded the milestone kill in the Lightning's five-set victory over Shippensburg in their second match of the tournament. She finished with 30 kills in two matches, upping her school-record total to 1,002 kills.

The Lightning dropped the first match of the tournament with a three-set loss against Millersville. The Marauders claimed the victory by set scores of 25-22, 25-13 and 25-13.

Post-Match Quotes: Goldey-Beacom Coach Richard Bowers
"I thought we played pretty well in the opening set against Millersville, but struggled a bit in the last two sets and dropped a tough match. However, I saw a totally different team in our match against Shippensburg and it was fun to watch them battle to a five-set victory."

"Our goal on the first day was to make improvements from the first match to the second match. I definitely saw that and look forward to seeing how we play against Virginia Union and Stonehill."
