CALIFORNIA (Oct. 4) – Junior Brandy Harris (Bedford, Pa./Bedford) established a career high with 23 kills and classmate Meghan Franz (Cranberry Twp., Pa./Seneca Valley) tied her career high with 15 kills on Tuesday night, as the California University of Pennsylvania volleyball team earned a 3-2 victory (26-24, 21-25, 25-14, 21-25, 15-11) over Wheeling Jesuit at Hamer Hall.

With the win, the Vulcans improve to 15-3 overall and have now won the last 10 meetings against the Cardinals dating back to the 2004 season. Meanwhile, Wheeling Jesuit falls to 14-3 after entering action on a 10-match winning streak.

Harris finished the match with 23 kills on 55 attempts, both career highs, for a .309 hitting percentage. Her 23 kills rank as the highest single-match total by a Cal U player since Joanna Nist recorded 24 kills at Ashland in 2009. Harris also totaled 13 digs against the Cardinals, marking her fourth double-double of the season (fifth career).

Franz posted 15 kills on 39 attempts for a team-best .323 hitting percentage and added eight blocks on Tuesday. Sophomore Molly Delaney (Carmel, Ind./Westfield) finished with a double-double for the second-straight match, tallying 11 kills and 18 digs at Hamer Hall. Junior Kelly Fromknecht (Erie, Pa./McDowell) directed the offense with 28 assists and sophomore Abbey Freund (Cottage Grove, Wis./Monona Grove) added 14 assists in the win.

Senior libero Sara McMullen (State College, Pa./State College) set a season high with 22 digs and Delaney and Harris added 18 and 13 digs, respectively.
