Volleyball Opens Michigan Trip with Ninth-Straight Win, Enache Tallies Career-High Kills

HOLLAND, MI - The Swarthmore College volleyball team captured their ninth-straight win with a 3-1 victory over Baldwin Wallace University on Friday.

Alexia Enache began the team's Michigan road trip with a career-high 24 kills. The sophomore became the first Swarthmore player since Kaylee Zhang's 2022 All-American campaign to record 24 kills in four sets. 

Melissa Eyer continued to make a name for herself as one of the region's top liberos. The rookie tallied a game-high 20 digs with three aces and seven assists in another well-rounder performance.
