BUIES CREEK, N.C. - - Junior opposite Tiffany Snook tied her career high with a match-best 17 kills Friday evening, helping lead the Ball State women's volleyball team to a 3-0 (25-13, 25-22, 25-20) sweep of host Campbell in its second match at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Dunn Campbell Invitational at Gilbert Craig Gore Arena.

"Snook really had a great day," head coach Kelli Miller Phillips said. "She was mixing up shots, playing aggressive and the results followed."

It was the second straight outing Snook led all players in kills after blasting 11 and hitting .550 (11-0-20) in Friday morning's sweep of Stetson. Snook, who hit .696 (17-1-23) against the Fighting Camels (2-4), helped the Cardinals improve to 7-0 with its fourth consecutive sweep.

Like the opener, 16 different Cardinals saw action in the win over Campbell, with 10 recording at least one kill. It included all three setters once again, with senior Lindsey Green, sophomore Reese Axness and freshman Lucy McCollum combining to lead the offense to a .298 (51-15-121) hitting mark.

"Everyone who got in today played a positive role and gained great experience," Phillips added. "We are going to need everyone ready all year so the more experience we can get early, the better!"

Green would dish out a match-best 25 assists, followed by Axness with 17 and McCollum with four. Both Green and Axness would also add eight digs.

Junior outside attacker Ava Smith was second on the squad with eight kills on the night, followed by senior middle Gwen Crull with six. Four Cardinals collected four kills apiece.

One of those four Cardinals was sophomore middle Alana Bailey who also led all players with five total blocks. Both were career highs, as were her three solo blocks and two digs.

On the defensive front, 15 of Ball State's 16 players were credited with at least one dig, led by 15 from junior libero Sophie Ledbetter who climbed to 21st in program history with 1,017 career digs.

"Huge congratulations to Sophie on 1000 digs," Phillips exclaimed! "This is just the beginning for her, but again for both matches, she made big time digs and kept us in long rallies when we needed her to."

The solid defensive effort helped limit the Fighting Camels to a .137 (33-17-117) attack percentage. Hailey Heytvelt led Campbell with nine kills, while Lauren Wheeler and Sadie Johnston tied for team-high honors with 10 digs apiece.

The Ball State women's volleyball team closes play in the Fairfield Inn & Suites Dunn Campbell Invitational Saturday afternoon with a 1 p.m. first serve versus Furman.
