RICHMOND, Va. - The Bucknell University volleyball team used a balanced team effort to get by tournament host Virginia Commonwealth 3-1 (23-30, 30-23, 30-18, 30-27) at the Virginia Commonwealth Invitational Friday evening.
The Bison bumped their record to 3-1 with the win, while the Rams dropped to 2-4.

Senior Shannon Walker also turned in a solid match for Bucknell with 12 kills, while classmate Whitney Williams posted a match-high 32 assists along with five service aces and nine digs. Sophomore Brandi Trapasso also hit double digits for the Bison with 10 digs and a match-high six service aces, while senior Angela Gano chipped in with 10 digs as well.
