BALTIMORE, Md. - Alexa Gibbs (Jr., Springfield, Ill.) totaled 13 kills and a .522 hitting percentage to help spark the Navy volleyball team to a 30-22, 30-17, 30-18 victory over Coppin State Tuesday night in Baltimore.
"I thought we served very well tonight and it put a lot of pressure on Coppin State," said Navy head coach Mike Schwob. "We then took advantage of what that pressure gave us."
Navy used sizeable runs of five-to-six points midway through each of the three games to record its 13th three-game sweep of the season and improve its overall record on the year to 17-9.
The Mids totaled 10 service aces in the match which helped the Navy defense hold Coppin State to a .070 hitting percentage on the night. Navy's offense, meanwhile totaled a .203 hitting percentage.
Gibbs led all players in the match in both hitting percentage and kills, while teammates Rachel Dougherty (Sr., Derwood, Md.) tallied 11 kills and Jessie Sims (Jr., Etowah, N.C. finished with eight kills and one error on 17 swings for a .412 hitting percentage.
