READING, Pa. - Senior Shelly Yohe registered a career-high 25 kills as the Elizabethtown College women's volleyball team topped Alvernia, 3-1, in non-conference action Thursday night.

With the win, the Blue Jays improve to 9-4 on the season, while the Wolves fall to 5-9.

Junior Bryanna Miller cashed in her fifth double-double of the season and third straight with 12 kills and 13 digs. 

Elizabethtown wasted little time putting its stamp on the match, flying out to a 14-6 lead in the opening set after junior Sarah Hanks found Miller for the kill.

The Wolves responded, closing within three (15-12) after a quick 6-1 run, but the Blue Jays rattled off 10 of the final 13 points of the set for 25-15 win in the opening frame.

Holding a four point (9-5) advantage in the second set, Yohe scored four of the next five points of the match to extend Etown's lead to seven at 13-6. 

The Blue Jays road this swing, pushing its lead to as many as nine before scoring the final four points of the set for the 25-13 win and the 2-0 lead.

After Alvernia took the third set, 27-25, Elizabethtown looked to close things out in the fourth. Down four (7-3) early in the set, the Blue Jays began to claw its way back into the match, using a 7-2 run rally to take its first lead since 1-0 at 10-9.

The two teams continued to swap the lead until the Blue Jays grabbed the momentum late in the set. With the Wolves holding a one point advantage (19-18), Etown scored seven of the final eight points of the match for the 25-20 win and the 3-1 victory.
