PEMBROKE – The UNCP Lady Braves volleyball squad made quick work of visiting Winston-Salem State on Tuesday, using just over an hour in earning a 3-0 victory to earn their 10th win of the season.

"I thought we served them out of system, and that's what our idea was going into this match. They had two kids that were pretty legitimate hitters, but if you can take them out of system, you can limit their swings.  We did a good job with that," said head coach Jeff Billington.

UNCP's effort at the service line was the major story of the night, as the Lady Braves (10-4, 2-2 PBC) recorded 16 aces en route to the straight-set victory.  The Lady Braves also held a consistent 62-63% sideout percentage throughout the match and were able to stop any Lady Ram rallies.

Junior Rebecca Morgan led the squad with a match-high 11 kills on 17 attempts (.471) while also contributing three assisted blocks, three digs, and four of the afore mentioned 16 aces.

Freshman Jennifer Grunden finished her night with four aces and sophomore Morgan Ridge finished her night with nine assists and three aces.  Heather Bolwerk led the squad with 15 assists while contributing two kills, six digs and two aces of her own.

UNCP will head back out on the road this weekend to face perennial powers Flagler and Armstrong Atlantic.

"Flagler should be pretty tough.  We're going to have to play a very consistent, focused match against them at their place.  They're definitely beatable …I don't know what to expect from Armstrong.  We watched film on them yesterday and they seem to be a different team than they were the last couple years. "

Flagler is currently 9-5 overall and is second in the PBC standings with a 3-1 conference mark.  Armstrong Atlantic is currently 7-7 overall and have accumulated a 1-3 record in the league.

UNCP faces off against Flagler in St. Augustine, Fla., on Friday and then head to Savannah, Ga., for their matchup with the Pirates on Saturday.
