EMORY, Va. - Bridgewater College made the long trip to Emory & Henry on Saturday and the Eagles battled their way to the win in three straight. The Eagles won by scores of 26-24, 25-17, 28-26.

"It's always good to go on the road and beat a good team," Bridgewater head coach Greg Spector said. "We played a good match today. It was nice to feel like you were in control."

Three Eagles reached double figures in kills with Ashley Scott (South Riding, Va./Heritage) leading the way with 16. Katie Baker (Strasburg, Va./Strasburg) added 13 kills and Cadie Castle (Mineral, Va./Louisa County)
 finished with 10.

Lindsay Kallam (Virginia Beach, Va./Princess Anne) dished out 37 assists.

Defensively, Casey O'Leary (Quinton, Va./New Kent) finished with 17 digs. Candice Guy (Fishersville Va./Wilson Memorial) added 15 and Kai-Lynn Stoker contributed nine digs. Baker added three blocks and Castle finished with 2.5 blocks.

"Katie Baker was huge in the first set," Spector said. "She had eight kills and a couple of blocks and she kept us alive until the rest of us woke up."

Spector was also pleased with the team's fight and composure in the third game when they rallied from a 24-22 deficit to win 28-26.

"It was nice to see them dig down and find something extra," Spector said. "We kept fighting when we were behind and then when we got the opppotunity to put them away we did."

With the victory, the Eagles improved to 3-6 in the ODAC and 14-13 overall. The Eagles close out their conference schedule on Tuesday when they host Randolph College.

"We're looking to finish up 4-6 in the conference and keep improving as we move closer to the conference tournament," Spector said.
