The 12th-ranked Blinn College volleyball team used a trio of stellar offensive performances to fuel a Region XIV sweep of Wharton County Junior College on Saturday in Wharton, Texas.

The Buccaneers won 25-19, 25-10, 25-18 and improved to 28-6 overall and 9-4 in conference play.

Freshman hitters LaNeah Lara and Don'Yah Cosie had 11 kills apiece, while NJCAA Division I kills leader and sophomore Kierslynn Wright added 10 (494 total) as the Bucs won their fifth straight match.

"I thought the girls did a really nice job today," Blinn head coach Terry Gamble said. "It was a good win and a good team effort."

Sophomore libero Ellie Turner paced the Bucs with 30 digs to add to her NJCAA Division I-leading total (779).
