Simmons Volleyball shut out Becker College Tuesday night in a 3-0 win. The Sharks controlled all three games, with final scores of 25-14, 25-20, 25-19.

The entire Simmons roster saw playing time against Becker in the Shark Tank. Freshman Meaghan Flynn (Laguna Beach, Calif.) led the Shark attack with twelve kills and seven digs. Setters Amanda Weaver (Eaton, Ohio) and Rosie Ferreira (Wassenaar, Netherlands) combined for a total of thirty-four assists. Freshman Sara Stewart (Laconia, N.H.) served up four aces. Freshman Krista Evans (Florence, Ala.) was also a powerful defensive presence, tallying eleven digs.

"This was a solid night for the Sharks as they take their winning record into Thursday," said Head Coach Jason Conetta. "We'll face a tough Eastern Nazarene College team who has not forgotten about their five-game loss to Simmons a year ago."

Simmons will attempt a repeat this year when they host Eastern Nazarene on Thursday, September 18 at 7:00pm at home.
