BEEVILLE, Texas – Blinn College volleyball showed off its depth in fashion in a commanding 3-0 sweep of Coastal Bend College Saturday afternoon by the score 25-19, 25-19 and 25-16 in Beeville.
The Buccaneers have now won seven matches in a row including their last 15 sets as the overall record improves to 22-8 and 7-1 in Region XIV play.
"We were able to play different lineups and we still played well," said Blinn head coach Kalie Mader. "Depth is important team and I feel like the team with the best depth is usually the best team."
Blinn was able to move some players around and still control the match. Eboni Mitchell led the Buccaneers with nine kills. Usually strong on the defensive end, Barbara Krug played all positions and came up with eight kills and six digs for an all-around solid match.
Darby Mussulman came up with six kills. Danusia Borgeuad led with eight digs and Jordyn Keamo dished out 31 assists and three aces.
