Greensboro, NC - The UNC Greensboro volleyball team won their second straight match, Tuesday night, with a 3-0 sweep of Campbell in Fleming Gym. With the win, the Spartans move to 6-9 on the year and are within one game of matching last year's win total of seven.

In game one, UNCG opened with a strong 6-1 lead following a kill by LaJean Morrow. After the Spartans pushed the lead to 13-2, Campbell (0-14) reeled off three consecutive points, capped off by a kill from Addie Sorrenti, to close the gap to 13-5. UNCG, however, regained the momentum and pushed the lead back to 10, 16-6, en route to the 30-13 game one win.

Campbell opened game two strong with a 2-0 lead, but the Spartans rallied to take the lead at 4-3 after an assisted block from Adrian Hicks and Morrow.

Early in game three UNCG and Campbell matched each other point for point, before the Spartans were able to take a slim 5-3 lead following back-to-back kills from Abbi Meyer. After falling behind 7-3, Campbell responded with two quick points highlighted by a kill from Che Cochrane, but from that point UNCG would cruise to a 30-14 victory.

"We met our goal tonight," said head coach Stacy Meadows-Kosciak. "We were finally able to put two solid matches back-to-back. Our seniors were able to step up, as did some other players, and we played well as a team. It was very important for us to get this win heading into conference play on Thursday and Friday."
