The Tigers were off to a strong start in the second set, taking an early 6-0 lead. However, the Warriors fought back and took the lead at 13-12. The set looked to be over with Hendrix leading 24-21, but CC rallied back with five straight points to take the 26-24 advantage over Hendrix.

The Tigers hit a set-high .483 hitting percentage as a team during the third set to beat the Warriors, 25-17 and earn the sweep over Hendrix.

Senior Sarah Schmoker led CC on offense with a team-high 13 kills. Seniors Meredith Ballard and Haley Hamilton added 10 kills each to contribute to the offense.

Senior Amy Schornack ran the Tiger offense dishing out a team-high 39 assists.

Senior Hannah Varnell had a team-high 18 digs to lead CC in the back row, while freshman Kristen Liberty added 10 digs on defense.

Hamilton led the Tigers at the net with five blocks. Freshman Randi Braak and Schornack added four blocks each to aid CC on defense.

With the win, Colorado College is now 20-5 on the season and 10-1 in SCAC action. Hendrix fell to 14-12 on the season and 5-6 in conference play.

The Tigers will be back in action at home next weekend as they host the 2011 Molten Volleyball Spike It Up Classic on Oct. 14-15 in Reid Gymnasium.
