Christopher Newport Volleyball won both of their matches on Saturday to finish off a 3-0 weekend in North Carolina. The Captains didn't lose a single set in Saturday's action with a pair of three set wins.

Christopher Newport 3, William Peace 0 | (25-17, 25-18, 25-13)

First Set

The Captains quickly got out to a big lead in the first set, starting off the match taking 20 of the first 25 points. WPU was able to make it somewhat close, but Mackenzie Wright hammered home her 5th kill of the set to put CNU ahead in the match.

Second Set

CNU jumped out to a quick lead again in the second set. Maddie Carter put 6 kills on the board while the Captains cruised out to a 20-12 lead. The Pacers rallied to narrow the deficit to just four. At 22-18, Annie Inghram got CNU the serve back, and Anna Dean immediately took advantage with an ace. Olivia Smalls drove home a kill to win the set for the Captains.
