Virginia volleyball wins weekend tournament

The Cavaliers won all three of their matches this weekend to take the Tiger Top Classic. Virginia dominated the competition, taking all nine games they played in the tournament in wins over Centenary, LSU and the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

Virginia executed well in its finals win over Centenary, committing only nine errors in 104 attempts. The Cavaliers also hit .433 in the match and had 54 kills.

Senior outside hitter Paige Davis shone in the final, personally recording a .565 hitting percentage and tallying 15 kills. She tallied 40 points and 33 kills overall on the weekend. For her efforts, Davis was named tournament MVP.

Additionally, senior middle Shannon Boyle and sophomore outside hitter Kristen Chaney were named to the All-Tournament team. Boyle's best match came against UAB -- a match in which she hit .706 with 12 kills and no errors. Chaney had a career high nine kills against Centenary and had 19 digs and seven blocks for the whole tournament.

Virginia, now 3-0 on the season, returns to action tomorrow night in Harrisonburg, Va. where they take on host James Madison at 7 p.m.
