CHARLESTON, S.C. – Behind 14 kills from junior Kaylie Milton, the Jacksonville State volleyball team earned its second-straight sweep to close out the Hampton Inn/College of Charleston Invitational.

In only its second true road match of the season, the Gamecocks (6-6) jumped on tournament host Charleston early with a 25-17 set one win en route to a 3-0 match victory. It marked the first win over CofC for Jax State, whose last meeting came in 2011.

JSU hit just .150 in the win with eight kills from Sadie Anderson and seven by Lena Kindermann. Junior setter Lexie Libs recorded 26 assists and 11 digs.

Freshman libero Erin Carmichael led the way with 13 digs as the Gamecock back line evenly distributed 50 total digs. Milton finished one shy of a double-double with nine digs, followed by senior Maddie Cloutier with seven as the Brighton, Colo., native tallied her season-high mark. Dani Steele added four more to go along with an ace from the service stripe.

After CofC used its second timeout in the opening frame, JSU continued to build its early lead by as many as nine at 23-14. With a 1-0 match lead, the second set remained tight until a late 4-0 run by Jax State opened a two-point lead into a 20-14 advantage. The Cougars would make it close before Anderson's final putaway solidified a 25-20 outcome.

JSU completed the sweep with another tight win in the third after being all even at 17-17. A late kill by freshman Taylor Pribyl, who finished with three, improved the margin to two which the Gamecocks held held until the end.

For their efforts over the weekend in helping JSU to a 2-1 mark with straight-set wins over New Orleans and Charleston, Milton and Libs were named to the All-Tournament team following the final match.

JSU heads home to begin a four-match homestand, which coincides with the first four Ohio Valley Conference matches of the season. The Gamecocks host Tennessee Tech on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at Pete Matthews Coliseum to begin OVC action.
