COLUMBIA, S.C. — Sam Dabbs distributed 34 assists, tallied 12 digs and set the No. 19 LSU volleyball team to a .311 hitting percentage en route to a 3-0 sweep of South Carolina, 25-20, 25-16, 25-15, Sunday at the Volleyball Competition Facility.
LSU (22-5, 16-2 SEC) pushes its winning streak to seven matches and have won 15 of its past 16.
The Tigers remained a half-match behind Kentucky, a 3-1 winner at Auburn, in the overall Southeastern Conference standings.
The .311 hitting performance marked the 12th time that LSU surpassed .300 this season. The Tigers also outblocked South Carolina (14-13, 5-12 SEC) 9-2 and limited the Gamecocks to a .086 ratio.
“I’m proud of how we responded, and our kids played extremely hard today to follow up the win at Florida,” coach Fran Flory said. “We were shaky at times with our ball control, but once again we showed great poise.”
Marina Skender had a match-high 10 kills and nine digs, while Angela Bensend had nine kills for the Tigers.
Olivia Ryder and Hannah Lawing paced the Gamecocks with eight and seven kills, respectively.
