BANGOR, Maine – Saint Joseph's College (15-0, 3-0 GNAC) blanked Husson University (6-13), 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-12), in a non-conference women's volleyball match on Tuesday night.

THE LEAD

Senior middle blocker Felicia Wachowiak (Milton, N.H.) led the Monks' offensive charge with 13 kills on 21 attempts and, with her eighth kill of the night, became the program's all-time kills leader. The three-time All-Conference honoree now has 1,113 career kills and surpassed former teammate Sarah Hawkes '13 – who recorded 1,107 kills over four seasons – on the Monks' all-time list.

Head Coach Yamile Nolan also reached a milestone tonight, as the sixth-year skipper notched the 100th win of her collegiate coaching career with the 3-0 triumph over the Eagles. Nolan is just the second coach in SJC volleyball history to reach the triple-digit mark and trails only John Razsa (133-166) on the Monks' coaching victories list.

Saint Joseph's held the lead for all but one service in the lopsided victory and posted a .405 attack rate with 36 kills and nine errors in 84 total attempts.

• Junior Victoria Huntley (Ellsworth, Maine) has played very well of late and added nine kills and 10 digs in the victory
• Junior Shadai Gosselin (Somersworth, N.H.) totaled seven kills and seven digs
• Senior Abbie McPhee (Epping, N.H.) registered six aces with seven digs
• Freshman Jennelle Thompson (Farmington, N.H.) added a team-high 20 digs
• Junior Mariah Hebert (Biddeford, Maine) was credited with 30 assists and four digs

TEAM TOTALS

Saint Joseph's held advantages across the board with leads in kills (36-17), attack percentage (.303 - .000), assists (34-17), aces (11-6) and digs (54-41). Husson held a 7-0 lead in total blocks in the loss.

HISTORICALLY SPEAKING

Saint Joseph's is now 20-9 all-time against Husson University and has defeated the Eagles in all three meetings this fall. Tonight's victory stretches the Monks' win streak against the Eagles to 14 games as St. Joe's has not lost to Husson since 2008.

With the 15th-consecutive victory, the 2015 SJC volleyball team is tied for the fifth-longest win streak in Saint Joseph's Athletics history. The 1992-93 women's basketball and 1995-96 men's basketball teams also won 15 straight games.

The College's longest win streak (23 games) belongs to the 1998-99 men's basketball and 2010 softball teams.
