CHARLESTON, S.C.-The trio of Tatum Jestila, Jessica Maas and Alyssa Holum led The Citadel to a sweep of Savannah State, 3-0, on Wednesday evening at McAlister Field House. Jestila (11 kills, 9 digs), Maas (10 kills, 3 assisted blocks) and Holum (30 assists) finished the Tigers off by scores of 25-8, 25-13 and 25-17.

"This was a good win for us," head coach Carolyn Geiger said of her team's performance. "This was our first home win and much needed for us to get back on track. It will certainly give us momentum for our eight hour road trip this weekend. Tatum was very close to her eighth double-double, however I more pleased with her being recognized as SoCon Student-Athlete of the Week."

The Citadel improves to 4-17 overall and 12-0 all-time against Savannah State with the victory. Shannon Frain led the Bulldogs defensively with 10 digs, followed by Jestila's nine. As a team Citadel drove home 43 kills, highlighted by Jestila and Maas. Maas' three assisted blocks anchored a front row that tallied 10, with Jestila and Blaine McAllister each adding a pair.

Shatice White's four kills led Savannah State, who falls to 8-16 on the season.  Danielle Richardson totaled nine digs on the back row, with Kendra Lewis adding six.

The Bulldogs return to SoCon play at Samford on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. The road trip continues on Sunday, Oct. 18, when they take to the court against Chattanooga at 1 p.m.
