The No. 4-ranked Emory volleyball team kept its winning ways intact on Saturday with two wins on the final day of action at the Emory Classic.  The Eagles defeated Randolph-Macon College, 3-0, (28-26, 25-18, 26-24) in their first encounter of the day before posting a hard-fought 3-1 decision over Bowdoin (25-19, 25-16, 21-25, 25-22).  The two triumphs upped the squad's winning streak to nine matches while raising its overall record to 11-1.

Emory was able to hand Bowdoin its first setback of the season in nine outings after hitting .265 (47-16—117) compared to the Polar Bears' .171 (44-23—123).  Senior Leah Jacobs was the lone Eagle to finish in double figures with 15 kills, finishing the contest with a .289 attack percentage (15-4—38).  It was her eighth performance of the year with 10 or more successful attack attempts.  Sophomores Jessica Holler and Sarah Maher each chipped in eight kills with Holler hitting .312 (8-3—16) while adding six digs.  Junior setter Sydney Miles doled out 35 assists and pounded out six kills in the victory while senior Kate Bowman topped the team with 12 digs, her 10^th performance of the season with double digits in that category.

Sophomore Kathryn Trinka totaled a team-high nine kills in Emory's contest against Randolph-Macon.   Holler registered seven terminations and four block assists in the match that saw the Eagles hold the Yellow Jackets to a .126 hitting mark (38-23—119).   Bowman racked up a team-high 15 digs in helping Emory to a 49-37 advantage in that department. 

Emory returns to action next Friday and Saturday (Sept. 19-20) when it competes at the Elmhurst Invitational.
