CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Amy Mitchell (Amarillo,
Texas/Tascosa) had 12 kills, including the 1,000th of her
career, to lead Virginia to a three-game victory over Virginia
Tech in a non-conference match played at Memorial Gymnasium.
Mitchell became the fourth Cavalier to reach the milestone as
Virginia extended its winning streak over their in-state rival
to three matches.
Deanna Zwarich (Overland Park, Kan./Shawnee Mission North) had
11 kills and two blocks, while Jessica Parsons (Green Oaks,
Ill./Libertyville) had 10 kills, seven digs, and four blocks to
lead Virginia (16-11, 4-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) to its
second consecutive win. Mary Frances Scott (Phoenix,
Ariz./Xavier College Prep) consistently set the table for
Virginia and finished with 44 assists.
Mitchell, who also led the Cavaliers with 11 digs, joins Greta
Jansson (1,465), Ann Marie Hammers (1,420), and Courtney
Stanton (1,413), as the only Virginia athletes to reach the
1,000-kill plateau.
"[The milestone] is something that has been in the back of my
mind for a few matches, but I've tried to not let it change my
approach. I owe this top all my teammates during my four years
at Virginia. It is extra special because we won and that is the
most important thing," said Mitchell.
Corrie Bundy led Virginia Tech (12-11, 7-5 Atlantic 10) with 13
kills, while Britton Jullan netted 33 assists in the loss.
Virginia returns to the court this weekend as they host a pair
of conference games at Memorial Gymnasium. Friday at 7:00 pm,
Georgia Tech come to town for a Halloween Night affair before
Clemson comes calling on Saturday evening at 7:00 pm.
