ASHLAND, Ore. –The Embry-Riddle women's volleyball team improved to 3-0 with a 3-0 sweep of Oregon Tech, Saturday at the Paul Elliot Invitational on the campus of Southern Oregon University. Senior Abby Hall (11 kills) and junior Jordan Holcomb (10 kills) combined for 21 of the Eagles' 38 kills, while newcomer Nina Kontrec led all players with 17 digs and sophomore Adriana Vazquez handed out a match-high 33 assists. Holcomb also led the way in service aces with six.

After the Eagles took the first set 25-19, the Hustlin' Owls made a run in the second frame and moved ahead 14-10. ERAU head coach Joslynn Gallop called a timeout to rally her troops and the strategy paid off as the Eagles scored nine of the next 11 points to take a 19-16 lead. A pair of Eagle hitting errors allowed OIT to tie the set at 21-21, but a kill by Hall, bookended by a pair of Taylor Martin service aces, helped the Eagles take the set 25-21.

The Eagle defense held Oregon Tech to a .174 hitting percentage in the third set. ERAU also hurt the Hustlin' Owls from the service line, totaling five of their 18 aces in that frame en route to a 25-16 win.

The Eagles close out tournament play against top-ranked Fresno Pacific at 3:30 p.m. (PDT ) on Saturday.
