The North Carolina volleyball team defeated Maryland Eastern Shore, 3-0, on Saturday afternoon, its second sweep in a row after defeating UNC-Greensboro on Friday.
What happened?
North Carolina started out strong, winning its first set in dominating fashion, 25-13. Junior transfer Skylar Wine led the offense throughout the whole game, while libero Mia Fradenburg helmed a defense that only allowed seven kills in the opening set.
The second set was equally one sided, although the Tar Heels allowed the Hawks to go on a three score rally late to close the gap, before North Carolina won 25-18.
The third set was tightly contested as well and saw the Hawks lead for much of the opening scores. At one point, Maryland Eastern Shore went up on UNC 10-5. The Tar Heels came back, however, eventually tying up the score at 21-21 before closing out the match on a 4-1 run.
Who stood out?
Wine continued the hot kill streak she started Friday night against UNCG. After leading the team with 15 kills then, she chipped in 13 Saturday afternoon on just 17 total attacks. The Tar Heels leading point getter is a recent edition to the team despite being a junior. She transferred into the program from Pacific.
First year setter Annabelle Archer also made an impact in her very first game of the season, leading North Carolina in total assists with 12, as well as pitching in a serving ace and a dig.
