The Colorado College volleyball team won its fifth consecutive match and improved to 3-0 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Saturday with a three-set victory, 25-22, 25-18, 25-12, over McMurry University at Reid Arena.
Â

Â
Dormady collected a match-high 17 kills with just two errors on 34 attempts for a .441 hitting percentage. Sherrill, meanwhile, added 15 kills and a .344 hitting percentage.

Â
The Tigers cruised through the final two sets, only trailing early in the third set, 6-4, but kills by Sherrill, Brilliant and Steger put CC up 10-6 and they outscored McMurry 15-6 from then on.

Annie Steger is running a very efficient offense and the results are indicative of that."
