Woodward also recorded four service aces. Hampton (10-17, 2-7 MEAC) was led by Aaryn Harrison who had a dozen kills of her own and Alyssa Jackson who had a match-high 21 digs. UMES finishes out the regular season on Friday night, November 2 when they host North Carolina Central University on senior night, looking for their 20th consecutive win.
