• Sophomore Nora Reed provided six kills in seven swings on the offensive end and six blocks on defense as VCU blitzed Fordham Sunday afternoon.
• Reed's performance underscored VCU's all-around mastery of Fordham. VCU hit .262, compared to .074 for the home team, and held a 39-25 edge in digs.
• Senior setter Cecilia Aragao steered the VCU offense to the tune of 30 assists and four kills. She also registered five blocks and five digs defensively.
• Outside hitters Jessica Young and Kalah Jones combined for 17 kills for the Black and Gold.
• Freshman back row stalwarts Rebekah Strange (12) and Mary Kilbane (10) combined for 22 of VCU's 39 digs and each served up an ace.
• Brennan Delsing led Fordham with nine kills and four blocks.

• The Atlantic 10 Conference race is turning into a traffic jam. VCU is now tied with four other teams for second place behind current leader Dayton (8-1). The Rams host Dayton and Saint Louis (one of the second place teams) next weekend.
• Kilbane has served up 19 aces in the last 11 matches. She recorded three aces in her first 12 matches of the year.
• Strange has booked double-digit digs in six consecutive matches.

• "We struggled Friday, but we knew we had to come today and play. Again, Janelle [Sykes] was the rock of the team, and Nora hit great and solidified the offense. I think Cecilia Aragao had a few good dump-ins that opened things up for us on offense."
• "I think we're in a good situation, and this can set us up for the next two weeks, which are crucial for us. I think the girls understand they can't just come in and show up, they have to be ready to play. I think we learned a lesson Friday."
