Camels roll past Runnin’ Bulldogs 3-0

Jessica Stocking put down 15 kills in the Camels' sweep of GWU

Box Score BUIES CREEK, N.C. --- Jessica Stocking put down 15 kills in the Campbell's 3-0 win over Gardner-Webb Friday night in Big South volleyball action from Gore Arena.
 
It was the Camels' (18-9, 8-5 BSC) eighth win in the last nine outings and they keep their firm hold on third place in the league standings. Danielle Bierman led CU with nine digs while Summer Schuitema dished out 32 assists.
 
Madison Linxwiler finished with nine kills while Arilyn Maier recorded a career-high four kills. Jessica Stocking added four blocks and six digs, while Alysha Mitchell matched her block tally and added five kills.
 
A 6-0 run in the middle of the first set gave the Camels a 14-6 lead. CU extended the margin to 15-8 and led 20-13 before the Runnin' Bulldogs (7-19, 1-12) scored three-straight to draw within four.
 
Campbell took set point on a kill from Stocking before a Nicole Celarek kill made it 24-18. Celarek stepped to the line, but committed a service error to give the opening frame to CU.
 
An early 4-2 Camel lead turned to 12-2 with an 8-0 run off the service of Schuitema. The Camels led by as many as 17-3 after a kill from Mitchell.
 
GWU was only able to draw back within 10 of the lead at 19-9. Stocking once again earned the Camels set point, and an attack error by Kiera Moore sent the Camels to the intermission with a 2-0 lead in the match.
 
Gardner-Webb held a narrow advantage early in the third frame, but Campbell used a 4-1 run to take an 8-4 lead. It was 14-9 in favor of the Camels when they reeled off four-straight points and led 17-9.
 
Three-straight Runnnin' Bulldog points cut the deficit to 19-13, but Stocking gave the Camels match-point with her final kill of the night. Kaelyn Dyson responded with a kill, but Rachel Harty put down a kill to finish the sweep for the Camels.
 
Celarek led the Gardner-Webb attack with 10 kills while Dyson put down seven. Emmma Milstead recorded a match-high 18 digs while Amanda Sahm dished out 28 assists.
 
The Runnin' Bulldogs hit just .046 in the contest and committed six service errors. Madee Miner added eight digs for the Camels while Grayson Hall and Faith Murray saw action during the match.
 
Campbell will have a quick turnaround and take on UNC Asheville on Saturday at 2 p.m. inside Gore Arena.
