FREDERICK, Md.--The Hood College volleyball team evened its overall record at 3-3 on the season and remained a perfect 15-0 all-time versus the Trinity University (D.C.) Tigers (1-4) Monday evening with a 25-9, 25-13, 25-11 victory at Gambrill Gymnasium.

The Blazers have yet to drop a single set in 15 meetings with their former rivals from the Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference and tonight's clash was no different. Hood posted 26 kills and 23 aces en route to the decisive triumph.

Hood ripped off the first eight points of the first set and never looked back, clinching the frame 25-9. Hood once again bolted to an early lead and never trailed in set number two. Holding a 19-12 edge, the Blazers reeled off seven straight points to close out the frame and go up 2-0 in the match with a 25-12 win. Trinity took control of set number three at the start, but Hood used an 8-1 run highlighted by three service aces to go up 8-4, forcing a Trinity timeout. The Tigers got no closer than two the rest of the way as first-year Morgan Huffer clinched the match with an ace to give Hood its second home victory of 2010.

Sophomore Brittany Lethbridge paced the Blazer attack with eight kills and four aces while senior Kristina Straub smacked seven kills. Sophomore Ashley Beall collected seven aces and a pair of kills while Huffer finished with 12 assists and four digs. Senior Beth Arsenault contributed two kills and three digs, both season-highs.

The Blazers open Capital Athletic Conference play against the York College (Pa.) Spartans Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Gambrill Gymnasium.
