MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - The Eagles volleyball team entered double-digit Florida Sun Conference wins on Saturday afternoon with a 3-0 victory over the St. Thomas Bobcats by scores of 30-16, 32-30 and 30-15.

In ERAU's fourth win against STU (7-19, 4-8 FSC) this season, Savannah Trakes had a match-high 14 kills while the Eagles (16-13, 10-3 FSC) converted on 33.7 percent of their attacks.

A 9-0 run by the Eagles to make the game one score 17-7 pushed momentum in ERAU's favor, as the Blue and Gold went on to win 30-16.

The Bobcats did not go down as easily in game two despite allowing the Eagles to begin the game with six straight points. ERAU was leading the game until it entered a 19-19 tie and then possession of the lead shifted back and forth until Janelle Marinos registered a kill to give the Eagles a 32-30 victory.

St. Thomas led to begin game three but with the game equalized at five, Jenni Nelsen notched a service ace, a feat she has accomplished in 15 consecutive matches. The Eagles never looked back from there as they handily won game three, 30-15.

Marinos has a match-high 12 digs while Marissa Gonzales had 34 assists in the match. Alana Martinez led all players in blocks with three solos and one assisted.
