Scotland improves to 11-2 overall (4-2 in conference games) with the win while the Raiders fall to 5-8 (1-5 vs SAC teams) with the loss.
The scores of the three sets were 25-18, 25-15 and 25-23. Senior Addison Johnson had a terrific game for the Scots with 13 kills, four blocks and three digs. Molly Gallagher also added 10 kills and three aces while Reagan Malpass contributed 24 assists. Head Coach Adam Romaine was very pleased his team’s performance as a whole, noting that it’s always nice to sweep a rival regardless of their record.
“It’s always a great win when you can go into Richmond and 3-0 them,” Romaine said. “They had a packed house and our main focus was to play to stay ahead and keep the energy on our side and their crowd out of the game.”
The team will get right back at it with road matchups on Wednesday and Thursday night at Terry Sanford and Hoke County, respectively. The Scots have beaten both teams at home earlier this season.
