ROANOKE, Va. – Sophomore Rachel Donaldson put down a game-high 13 kills to lead three players in double figures in kills as the Bridgewater Eagles volleyball team remained unbeaten in Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) play with a 3-0 victory over Hollins.

Bridgewater (7-4, 3-0 ODAC) took the opening set by a 25-14 margin before edging out Hollins in set two by a 25-23 tally. The Eagles cruised in the third set, taking a 25-13 victory to sweep the match by a 3-0 score.

It was all Bridgewater early in set number one as the Eagles ran out to a 7-0 lead due in large part to a pair of kills by senior Katie Long and three Mara Hogan service aces.

Hollins (1-9, 0-2 ODAC) got on the board off of a Haley Ortiz kill and kept the differential at six points until a four-point run from the Eagles gave Bridgewater a double-digit advantage. A Megann Grimes kill put the Eagles out in front by a 10-3 tally before kills from Abby Mills, Hogan and Grimes handed Bridgewater a 13-3 lead and forced a Hollins timeout.

Out of the timeout, the two teams traded points until Hollins capitalized on a pair of Bridgewater miscues to cut the Eagles' lead to 14-7, but the seven-point difference was as close as Hollins would get as Bridgewater ran away to a 25-14 victory in the opening set.

Bridgewater took an early lead in set two, but Hollins responded with three unanswered points to take its first lead of the match at a 3-2 tally. Following a Hollins service error which knotted up the set, kills from Long, Grimes and Lindsay Kallam put Bridgewater back out in front at a 6-3 score.

The two teams battled back and forth through the middle of the set with Hollins regaining the upper hand at a 9-8 tally. Both squads traded the lead but it was Hollins maintaining a slim 20-18 lead as the set moved towards its conclusion. A pair of Bridgewater attack errors allowed Hollins to jump in front by a 22-19 margin before back-to-back kills from Donaldson and Megan Lookabaugh cut the Hollins advantage to a single point, forcing a Hollins timeout.

Out of the stoppage, another Bridgewater miscue put Hollins out in front by a 23-21 tally, but the lead was short lived. Two Hollins attack errors, paired with two kills from Donaldson closed out the set, handing the Eagles a hard-fought 25-23 victory and a 2-0 lead in the match.

Hollins came out on fire in the third set of the afternoon, rattling off five of the first six points to own a 5-1 lead over the Eagles. Hollins maintained a sizeable lead over the Eagles in the early goings of the set, taking a 10-5 lead before Bridgewater responded in a big way.

Staring down a five-point deficit, the Eagles ripped off a 12-point run to gain the lead in the set for good. Donaldson pounded down five kills during the stretch, while the Eagles capitalized on a number of Hollins miscues to take a 17-10 lead.

Hollins snapped the run after a Bridgewater attack error as the teams traded points in the middle of the set before the Eagles effectively put the match away. Mills put away a kill to open a six-point run for the Eagles as Bridgewater built a 24-12 advantage. The teams traded the final two points of the match as Bridgewater rolled to a 25-13 victory and a 3-0 sweep over Hollins.

Donaldson's 13 kills led the way for a Bridgewater offense that hit at a .262 clip on the day.

Long also tallied 10 kills for the Eagles to round out Bridgewater's players in double figures in kills.
