FROSTBURG, Md. - Junior Sabrina
Winterling (Glenelg, Md./Glenelg) had 10 kills and
classmate Christine

career-high 20 assists to power the Frostburg State volleyball team
to its eighth shutout of the season with a 3-0 win over McDaniel,
Wednesday.
The Bobcats improved to 11-0 overall on the season and moved to
within one game of the best start by a volleyball team in school
history. The previous mark is set at 12-0 by the 1999 team that
also holds the school record for wins in a season (36).
FSU opened game one with a 25-13 win. The Bobcats raced out to a
7-1 lead and never looked back. Frostburg held a 20-8 late lead and
closed out the game with a 4-0 run.
Game two resembled the first as FSU jumped out to an 11-3 lead.
McDaniel (0-9) battled back to bring the score to 15-10, but
Frostburg posted a 6-0 run for a 22-13 lead. The two teams
exchanged the final few points before FSU captured a 25-16 win.
McDaniel used an early 4-0 run in the third game for a 7-3 lead.
However, FSU rebounded to tie the contest at 10-10 and then
collected an 11-3 run for a 21-13 lead before cruising to the
win.
Senior Sarah
Stephens (Oakland, Md./Southern Garrett) posted her
seventh double-double of the season and fourth straight with 16
kills and 10 digs. Senior Jamie
Thomas (Laurel, Md./Reservoir) finished with 13 digs,
seven kills and one ace while junior Amber
Winterling (Glenelg, Md./Glenelg) turned in 14 digs,
eight kills and four aces.
Junior setter Kylie
Carrington (New Freedom, Pa./Susquehannock) started the
match and recorded 13 assists and senior libero Brittany
McVearry (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) had five
digs.
