DEERFIELD, Ill. - Freshman Ashlyn Spay finished with a match-high 13 kills, as Trinity International rolled to a straight-set sweep over the Hannibal LaGrange Trojans, 25-22, 25-18, 25-15, inside a raucous Van Dixhorn Arena on Friday night.

Junior libero Becca Kowalczuk anchored the TIU defense, recording 21 digs on the night. Freshman setter Kayla Jacks dealt out 23 assists in the win.

A close opening set saw Hannibal (0-3) holding a narrow 21-19 advantage, before back-to-back kills from Spay evened the score. HLGU took the lead with the next point, but the Trojans responded with four straight to close out the set, highlighted by a pair of kills from Lexie Voss and an ace from Jacks.

The Trojans jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in game two, with two aces from Spay and Jacks. Trinity would hold a comfortable margin throughout the rest of the game, to claim a 2-0 lead in the match, after the 25-18 victory.

Six straight points, with three kills from Spay and a pair of Kowalczuk aces put TIU in front 6-1 to start game three. Trinity looked its most dominant all night after closing out the set on a 9-3 run to take the win in the home opener.

The Trojans wrap up the weekend with two more matches tomorrow, beginning with a meeting with the Life Pacific (Calif.) Warriors at 9:00 a.m. TIU then takes on Bethel (Ind.) beginning at 1:30 p.m.
