Volleyball Off To Their Best Road Start in CAA Program History After Victory Over Hampton

ELON, N.C. – The Elon University volleyball team is now 4-0 on the road, recording their best road start in the CAA in program history after defeating Hampton 3-0 on Friday afternoon. Their 4-2 conference record is their best start in CAA play since 2021 when the Phoenix started 5-1.

Elon 3, Hampton 0 (25-12, 25-16, 26-24)
HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • The teams went back and forth to open the first set with no team leading by more than two until an 8-3 run from the Phoenix gave them a four-point lead at 13-9. The Phoenix then went on a 3-1 run thanks to kills from Sydney Love and Lindsey Harris to extend their lead to 16-10. Elon only allowed two more Hampton points and cruised to win set one 25-12 capped by a kill from Caroline Berlekamp.
  • Elon got out to a commanding 8-2 lead to force an early timeout from the Lady Pirates. Out of the break, the teams traded points and later a 3-0 run from the Phoenix saw their lead to nine at 16-7 midway through the frame. Hampton won eight of the next 12 points to cut the Elon lead to five at 20-15. The teams traded points before a 4-0 run from Elon, thanks to a block from Love and Berlekamp and kills from Berlekamp, Keira Kasten and Love, closed set two with Elon on top 25-16.
  • Elon led 5-2 early in set three but Hampton eventually knotted the score at 7-7. The Phoenix won six of the next eight points thanks to two service aces from Shannon O'Laughlin and blocks from Berlekamp, Harris, and Cameron Lanier to pull ahead 13-9. Hampton quickly cut the lead to two at 14-12 but three straight points from the Phoenix saw them out in from 17-12. The Lady Pirates went on a 9-3 run to take their first lead of the set at 21-20 and forced an Elon timeout. Out of the timeout, a kill from Anna Sewell knotted the score at 21-21. From there, the teams went back and forth, and with the score tied at 24-24, a block from Catherine Rucker and Love and a Hampton error ended the match with Elon sweeping the Lady Pirates 26-24.
