LIVINGSTON, Ala. –  The University of West Alabama volleyball team secured its third-straight 20-plus win season with a 3-0 sweep of UAH in Gulf South Conference East Division action.

The Tigers (20-5, 5-0 GSC) extended their GSC-best win streak to 11 matches with the sweep.  UWA also remained perfect in the GSC East with a 5-0 mark.  The Red and White needed just over an hour to dispose of the Chargers (7-19, 1-4 GSC) 25-14, 25-17 and 25-13. 

UWA used a balanced attack offensively and were paced by junior Thais Hollerbach, who nailed a match-high nine kills.  Hollerbach also posted 13 digs in the affair.  A trio of Tigers turned in seven kills each – Jessica Crook, Ana Gabriela Pedrosa and Brittney Cousin.  Crook received GSC East Division Offensive Player of the Week honors earlier in the day for her efforts last week.  As a team, UWA was credited with seven service aces.  Alexis McHale and Casey Byrnes tallied three aces each.  The Tigers took advantage of UAH’s .031 attacking percentage along with carding a .289 mark.

Kelsey Williams led the Chargers with six kills.

UWA will put its 11-match winning streak on the line Wednesday, Oct. 14 against NCAA Division I opponent Alabama A&M in Normal, Ala.  Match time is set for 7 p.m.  The Tigers downed AAMU 3-0 earlier this season at Pruitt Hall.
