ATLANTA
, Ga. 10/23/10 – Rhodes College and Hendrix College defeated Sewanee today in SCAC volleyball play at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta.

 

Rhodes topped Sewanee 3-0 (25-13, 25-16, 25-21) in today's opener.

 

Liz Boddiford (Forest Hill, Md., Maryvale Prep), Tarver Shimek (Towson, Md., Towson) and Kim Conkell (Atlanta, Ga, Lakeside) each had three kills to lead Sewanee.  Erin Brahm (Huntsville, Ala., Grissom) had eleven assists and eleven digs while Shimek contributed three service aces. Boddiford and Conkell led the way with two blocks each.

 

In the second match of the day Hendrix downed the Tigers 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-17).

 

Boddiford was the kills leader with 12 while Brahm had 21 assists.  Conkell chipped in ten digs and Boddiford had one block.  Brahm and Shimek each had one service ace in the match.

 

“I am pretty happy with our defense today,” commented head coach Jessica Cortese. “We have over 30 digs per match and I'm proud of the players for consistently working hard on defense. That is one of the major pieces of the puzzle that has been inconsistent this season. Hopefully that defensive knowledge is something we will continue to improve upon the rest of the season as we now turn our focus to some other aspects of the game that need fixing.”

 

The Tigers will wrap up play tomorrow at Oglethorpe with matches against  Birmingham Southern College and DePauw University.
