CHARLESTON, S.C. – College of Charleston's Kari Fidelholtz etched her name in the CofC record books with a nine-ace performance on Saturday, leading Charleston (6-0) to a 3-0 sweep over S.C. State (0-5) in the Hampton Inn CofC Invitational.

The Cougars started the team's reserves for the whole match and freshman Maddie Hills set a new season high with a team-best 11 kills and a .526 hitting percentage. Catey Warren finished with six kills and seven digs and sophomore Grace Rebarchak had five kills. Junior right-side Sloane White did get the start and tallied eight kills.

Freshman setter Lexi Rhein set a new season high with 21 assists and seven digs, and classmate Ashley Watson started at libero and made six digs.

Desire Waller led the Bulldogs with six kills and four digs, but committed eight reception errors.

Charleston finished each set with strong runs, opening leads of 17-8 and 20-10 in the first two sets, while going on an 8-0 run to break open a 16-12 margin in the final set.
