FORT SMITH, Ark. – A lineup change gave University of Arkansas – Fort Smith Volleyball a spark Friday as the Lady Lions looked dominant in a 25-18, 25-17, 25-18 sweep of St. Mary's at Gayle Kaundart Arena at the Stubblefield Center.

UAFS (10-10, 5-6 LSC) hit over .300 in every set en route to hitting .369 for the match, just shy of the .385 it hit last week in a win at Eastern New Mexico. Four players had at least seven kills and hit above .400.

Outside hitters Savannah Wharton and Reagan Macha each racked up double-digit kills, with Wharton tallying 15 and Macha 13. Wharton hit .433 for the match and Macha .406.

Adding to that offensive attack were middle blockers Hannah Holland and Chyra Thompson, who each hit .500. Thompson recorded nine kills and Holland seven.

UAFS only briefly trailed at the beginning of set two, then responded to a 3-1 deficit with a 7-0 run led by a pair of kills by Wharton. The Lions started set one strong as well, with Wharton leading the way with three kills as UAFS raced out to an 8-2 advantage.

St. Mary's kept pace in the first half of set three, but UAFS broke it open with a 6-1 run to turn a one-point game into a 21-15 lead. Thompson had three kills in the run.

Macha and setter Chloe Alderson recorded double-doubles, with Macha tallying 12 digs and Alderson 10. Alderson dished out 37 assists in the win.

Libero Jazzlyn Wells paced the back row with 18 digs.

UAFS will next host St. Edward's Saturday at 1 p.m. in its annual pink game.
