WILMINGTON, N.C. – Virginia Commonwealth University senior Elisa Kuehnel (Dresden, Germany) provided 10 kills and junior Ivana Rich (Cumberland, Va.) (above) added nine to spark a 3-0 (25-12, 25-17, 25-21) win over UNC Wilmington Friday.

VCU has won seven of its last nine matches to improve to 17-9 overall, as well as 8-3 in the Colonial Athletic Association.

UNC Wilmington falls to 6-20 overall and 0-11 in the CAA.

Lindsey Strucko had six kills and Ashlyn Morris registered 19 digs to pace the Seahawks.
