JACKSON, Miss. – The William Carey Volleyball Team left little to doubt, as they defeated Tougaloo College in straight sets Wednesday night.
 
The Lady Crusaders got off to a great start in the first set, opening with seven straight points before extending their lead to ten at 12-2. After giving up the next two points, Carey responded with a 6-0 run before cruising to the 25-10 first set victory.
 
Things were a little closer at the start of the second set with Carey having the largest lead at three. With WCU leading 12-9, they made their move behind a 6-0 run, with five of the points coming off four kills by Suelen Lima and service ace by Bettini. The Lady Crusaders would go on to close the set on a 7-2 run to take the set 25-11 and the 2-0 lead.
 
After a back and forth start to the third set, the Lady Crusaders once again gained separation from the Bulldogs behind a 6-1 run to take a 12-7 lead. The Bulldogs managed to cut the deficit to three points at 13-10, but just like in the other sets, WCU pulled away for good using a 7-2 run and never looked back, taking the set 25-16.
 
Suelen Lima led the attack with fourteen kills. Katarina Vulic picked up 29 assists while Kayla Benedic had ten digs.
