Columbia, SC - The Johnson & Wales University volleyball team won all six sets at the Allen University Tri-Match on Thursday, sweeping Morris College 25-14, 25-13, 25-15 and the hosts, Allen, 25-13, 25-19, 26-24.

The Wildcats (7-3) were dominant throughout against Morris, paced by USCAA National Setter of the Week Hailey Thrift.  The sophomore posted six kills, 26 assists, and seven digs in the contest.

Lucy Herrmann chipped in with nine kills, three aces, two blocks, and 11 digs.

"I was happy with our control of the tempo in this match," said Wildcats head coach Callie Phillips.  "We pushed it the whole time and worked together as a team.  This was a nice win for us."

In the nightcap, Herrmann's 10 kills led the way as Johnson & Wales held off the host Yellowjackets.

Thrift collected 16 assists while Erika Ross and Samantha Johnson collected 10 and seven digs, respectively.

"This was another nice win for us," said Phillips.  "We were tested with a key injury, but our whole team stepped up to close out the sweep. We were pushed to the limit in Game 3, but we were able to close the door and claim the game. I'm proud of my young team for making that happen."

The Wildcats resume play tonight as they travel to Livingstone College for a 5:00 p.m. match.
