WALTHAM, Mass. – Junior Ingrid Murphy (Cotuit/Barnstable HS) put down 11 kills, made 20 digs and served a career-high six aces as Bentley University swept visiting Assumption University in non-conference women's volleyball Tuesday night at the Dana Center. The scores were 26-24, 25-14 and 25-22.

Bentley, with its sixth win in its last seven matches, improved to 10-7 overall and 9-3 against East Region opponents. Assumption dropped back to .500 at 6-6 after its second loss in eight days to the Falcons.

Serving played a key role in the match with the Falcons finishing with a season-best 13 aces and a half-dozen service aces. On the other hand, Assumption had five aces and 11 service errors. That's a swing of 13 points in a match in which Bentley outscored the Greyhounds by 16.

After trailing the opening set by as many as five points early, Bentley scored the final two points, on a kill by sophomore Ellie Wheeler (Olathe, Kans./Saint James Academy), this week's Northeast-10 Rookie of the Week, and an ace from senior setter Amanda Parker (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North HS). The first set included four kills from sophomore Caitlin Wunder (Penn Yan, N.Y./Penn Yan Academy) and three aces served by sophomore Angie Grabmeier (Hopkinton/Hopkinton HS).

Six kills by Wheeler and aces on three consecutive serves from Murphy helped Bentley dominate the second set. Murphy also had kills for the final three points, finishing a 15-5 run.

Wheeler's 13^th kill of the evening, and sixth in nine swings during the third set, accounted for match point with Parker picking up her 35^th assist.

Bentley also received 17 digs from freshman Jazzy Burke (Lake George, N.Y./Lake George HS) and three blocks from Murphy.

The Falcons will continue their season-long four-match homestand this weekend against Saint Rose on Friday and Le Moyne on Saturday.
