LANCASTER, PA -- Junior defensive specialist Kay May (Stafford, VA/Colonial Forge) served eight aces as visiting Washington College cruised to a 30-21, 30-18, 30-8 non-conference volleyball win over host Lancaster Bible tonight in Lancaster, PA. The Shorewomen improved to 7-10 with the win, while the Chargers fell to 6-15 with the loss.

Washington held a 5-4 lead in game two before breaking taking control with 10 straight points, four of them coming on aces by May. In game three, the Shorewomen held an early 3-2 lead and then scored 16 of the next 18 points to blow the game open.

Senior outside hitter Katherine O'Brien (Severna Park, MD/Severna Park) tallied 11 kills and 13 digs for her 11th double-double of the season. O'Brien is now 15 kills away from 1,000 for her career.
