CALIFORNIA (Sept. 13) – The California University of Pennsylvania volleyball team recorded a sweep on the final day of its Vulcan Invitational at the Convocation Center, earning a pair of wins over Alderson Broaddus and Cedarville

The Vulcans move to 6-2 on the year after finishing with a collective 3-1 record during the two-day, eight-team invitational.

Cal U opened play Saturday morning by earning a 3-1 win (25-9, 24-26, 25-12, 25-15) over Alderson Broaddus of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC). Senior outside hitter Laurel Miller (Bethel Park, Pa./Bethel Park) registered a kill/dig double-double with 22 kills and 16 digs while hitting at a .477 clip. Junior Miranda Fouzie (Kingston, Ontario/Sydenham) added eight kills on a .368 hitting percentage and sophomore Danielle Hayes (Erie, Pa./McDowell) chipped in with nine kills. Freshman setter Taylor Solo (Irwin, Pa./Penn-Trafford) ran the offense, totaling 37 assists.

Defensively, junior Samantha Rudy (Greencastle, Pa./Greencastle-Antrim) led the team with 20 digs and five other players finished with at least seven digs. Junior Mary Lavery (La Plata, Md./La Plata) and Fouzie each posted six blocks and Hayes added five blocks in the win.

The Vulcans earned the sweep on Saturday with a 3-1 victory (24-26, 25-20, 25-21, 25-20) over Cedarville, another G-MAC member, in the nightcap. Hayes and Miller once again led the Cal U offensive attack, as the duo each tallied 13 kills. Three other Vulcans registered at least six kills in the win and sophomore Megan Litoborski (Lemont, Ill./Lemont) finished with a career-high 43 assists.

Redshirt freshman Rachel Snyder (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) totaled a team-high 21 digs and was one of four Cal U players to register double figures in digs. Fouzie paced the team with 11 blocks and Miller added five blocks.
