ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. -- The Meredith College volleyball team collected their third USA South win early this season with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-12) sweep over N.C. Wesleyan. Caroline Corey dominated the Angels offense hitting .333 on the night with 16 kills in 36 attempts.

The host N.C. Wesleyan Bishops put up a fight through the first set and one half, until a 7-0 MCVB run drove the Angels towards a sweep. With rookie Lauren Phillips on the service line, Hafliger opened with a kill off a Hannah Blaylock assist, and two more from Caroline Corey unsettled the Bishops. NCW continued to struggle as Meredith cruised to a 2-0 set advantage.

Phillips' steady hand opened the third set with an ace, and Corey found a gap for another kill. Haley Reeg and Blaylock stuffed a Bishop attempt, but an Angel misstep returned the ball to the host at 4-2.

Corey and Reeg each landed a winner, as MCVB continued to pressure the Bishops. The teams exchanged points until Reeg and Blaylock extended Meredith's lead to eight. Down the stretch Corey recorded back-to-back service winners en route to the finish.

Hafliger recorded eight kills in 17 attempts with a pair of blocks, and Reeg notched five kills and two block assists. Blaylock led all with 31 assists, and Samantha Smith led MCVB with 18 digs on the night.
