The American University volleyball team recorded a .326 hitting percentage Friday evening as it rolled to a victory at Navy, 3-0. Rebecca Heath scored a match-high 11 kills as the Eagles won by set scores of 25-16, 25-15 and 25-23.

American (9-9, 3-2) got on Navy (5-14, 1-4) early in the first set using a 6-0 run to take a 9-3 lead. The Midshipmen hung around midway through the frame, bringing the score to 14-10, but the Eagles were able to extend their advantage to 17-10 following a Magdalena Tekiel kill and Navy error. American would later earn set point, 25-16, on Navy's sixth error of the frame.

The Eagles again used a 6-0 run to open a big lead in the second set, 12-4, which included two kills by Heath. American pushed its advantage to as many as 12 points, 17-5, and never let Navy get back into the action as the team took the set by a final margin of 25-10.

The third set was more tightly contested as the two teams found themselves tied on eight occasions. Despite holding an 11-5 advantage early, American allowed Navy to work back to an 18-all tie. The Eagles never relinquished the lead though, and after trading points down the stretch with the Mids took match point, 25-23, following consecutive kills by Cassandra Ricketts and Katerina Cinkova.

American finished the match with a .326 hitting percentage as Heath led all scorers with 11 kills. Tekiel added nine kills while Ann Recht and Claire Recht each totaled six. Krysta Cicala notched 29 assists.
