University of Delaware Volleyball Team Clings to Colleen Walsh to Lead Them Past Howard, 3-0

NEWARK, DE (October 26, 2004) -- The University of Delaware volleyball team snapped a two-game losing streak Tuesday night as freshman Colleen Walsh (Cleveland, OH/Regina - at rigiht) recorded nine of the Blue Hens' school record 20 services aces in a 3-0 sweep over Howard University at Barbara Viera Court.

The Blue Hens had an easy time of it as they rebounded from two tough Colonial Athletic Association losses last week to post the win, their 10th in 11 home games this season. Delaware improved to 17-6 on the season while Howard drops to 6-16 overall.

Val Murphy (Round Hill, VA/Loudoun Valley) led the Delaware attack, hitting .733, recording 11 kills and a block while Sarah Engle(Yorba Linda, CA/Esperanza) recorded nine kills, hitting .300. Allison Lutz (Burnsville, MN/Burnsville) tallied 25 assists for the Hens.

Also finding her way into the record book was senior Taylor Govaars (Balboa, CA/Newport Harbor) whose 12 digs on the night place her ninth in the books for most digs in a single season with 468.

Delaware hits the road on Friday, October 29 to face UNC Wilmington at 7 p.m. in Colonial Athletic Association play.
