Decatur, GA – The Berea College women's volleyball team (20-11, 12-4 USA-S) capped their first 20-win season in the NCAA era with a conference sweep of host Agnes Scott and LaGrange Saturday.

The Mountaineers cruised to an easy 3-0 win over the host Scotties in the opening match of the day, winning 25-15, 25-20 and 25-13.  Senior Carolina Robles (Guaynabo, PR) led the Berea attack with nine kills and freshman Idymel Ayala Rivera (Vega Baja, PR) had 10 assists.  Senior Fabiana De'Jesus (Caguas, PR) contributed 14 digs and sophomore Deanna De La Torre (Georgetown, TX) recorded two blocks in the win.

The Mountaineers started slow in the second match of the day against LaGrange, needing a late rally to win the opening set 25-23.  But Berea took a commanding 10-1 lead in the second set, and finished off the Panthers with 25-16 and 25-13 victories for the 3-0 win.  The Mountaineers were led offensively by junior Isabel Marquez (Albuquerque, NM), who put down nine kills, with senior Jonesy McGregor (Lawrenceburg, KY) adding 18 assists.  On the defensive front, De La Torre had four blocks and De'Jesus 17 digs.

For the third consecutive year, including last spring's revised pandemic season, Berea has qualified for the conference tournament and will open the post-season this Tuesday at Covenant College.  The Scots upset the Mountaineers 3-2 last spring in the opening round.  Covenant won both matches against Berea this season, claiming 3-1 victories.
