Volleyball Spikes Andrew College

The volleyball team began their 2010 season in impressive fashion by sweeping away Andrew College on Pinholster Court, 3-0.

The Petrels left little doubt in this contest by dominating points early and often in cruising to the victory. Oglethorpe captured the first set, 25-13, claimed the second, 25-19 and earned the third by the count of 25-12.

The victory was highlighted by the outstanding play of freshmen outside hitters Samantha Lynn and Laura Landry who combined for 21 kills on the night. Landry, of Marietta, posted a .500 hitting percentage on the night while Lynn, from Fort Collins, Colo., netted a .444.

Senior outside hitter Sara Blair recorded 10 digs and posted two service aces on the night and sophomore setter Brittin Dawson tallied a team-high 26 assists.

The Petrels are 1-0 on the young season and back in action on September 10 when they travel to Rome, Ga. to face LaGrange and covenant on the campus of Berry College.
