SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – The Union College women's volleyball team hit .324 as a team and saw 10 different players record at least one kill as the Garnet Chargers rolled to a fourth straight Liberty League victory with a 3-0 (25-11, 25-19, 25-16) win over Bard College on Wednesday evening at Viniar Athletic Center.
 
The win assures Union (17-8, 6-1 Liberty League) of at least matching the highest conference winning percentage in a season in program history as well as ensuring the fewest conference losses in a season ever.
 
Senior Shannon McGrath led a diversified offensive attack with a match-best 12 kills on .379 hitting, and her 11th kill of the night moved her into fifth place on the school's career kills list. She was followed by first-year Shea Ringel with nine kills and 10 digs. Senior Georgia Pool led all players with 11 digs and four service aces and sophomore Allie Kronenberg chipped in 32 assists, seven digs, two aces, two blocks and a kill.
 
Bard (3-21, 0-7 Liberty League) took a 7-6 lead early in the first set but Union swiftly turned the tide, rattling off 14 of the next 15 points to take a 20-8 advantage and cruise to a first-set win. Sophomore Georgia Pinciaro had a team-best four kills during the run and five kills overall in the set, as the Garnet Chargers scored 19 of the final 23 points overall and hit .378 in the frame.
 
The Raptors had a 9-7 advantage in the second stanza before another Union run flipped the momentum, a 12-3 stretch that put the home team up by a 19-12 score. Ringel and McGrath both had a team-best five kills in the frame, which was finished off by a kill from sophomore Sam Janker.
 
The Garnet Chargers never trailed in third set on the way to finishing off the sweep. McGrath had four kills as part of a set-opening 8-2 run and finished with a team-leading six kills in the set. The home team used a 6-2 run to open up a 15-9 advantage and led by as many as seven before four straight points opened up a nine-point lead to end the match.
 
Union finished the match with 47 kills on 108 attempts and almost doubled up the Raptors in kills, limiting Bard to .103 hitting and 24 kills.
 
The Garnet Chargers will play their final home matches of the regular season on Saturday, hosting William Smith College for an 11 a.m. match and battling with Babson College at 3 p.m.
