RALEIGH, N.C. – Brittany Jamison (Fr./Summerville, SC) and Shakera Hall (Fr./Bridgetown, Barbados) combined for 20 kills as Saint Augustine’s University thumped Morris College 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-15) in a non-conference women’s volleyball match at Emery Gymnasium on Friday, Oct. 9, 2015.
 
The Lady Falcons (7-7 overall) bounced back from Thursday’s conference loss to Fayetteville State University by amassing 38 kills to 11 for the Lady Hornets.

The Lady Falcons were in charge from the outset. They jumped out to an 11-4 lead and never looked back on their way to victory in the first set. The second set was more of the same as the Lady Falcons used an 11-3 run to pull away from a 7-7 tie. In the third set, the Lady Falcons finished off the Lady Hornets after opening a 21-11 lead.
