Volleyball Earns Sunday Sweep over UAB

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Alabama volleyball capped its weekend at the Blazer Classic with a Sunday sweep over tournament host UAB.

The sweep is Alabama’s (8-1) sixth of the season, defeating UAB (2-7) in straight sets 25-18, 25-19 and 25-16. Micah Gryniewicz led the team with 13 kills, with Kendyl Reaugh close behind with nine along with a team-leading 10 digs. Chaise Campbell hit .571 with nine kills and just one error on 14 swings, adding a team-leading four blocks at the net.

“I’m incredibly proud of our team. With every match we play, there are lessons that we are learning and the biggest thing for us is to play level through adversity and that was something we got better with this weekend. These ladies did a nice job of working through it all together. I’m looking forward to how they implement these lessons in our last week of preseason before we start conference play.”
