Box Score HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison wrapped up the JMU Invitational with a solid victory over the Norfolk State volleyball team on Saturday evening, 3-0, at Sinclair Gymnasium.
 
The Dukes won the first two sets by scores of 25-19 and 25-16 before overwhelming the Spartans in the third set, 25-4.
 
JMU (10-3) hit .375 for the match and committed just nine attack errors. The trio of Janey Goodman (12 kills, .286 attack percentage, four blocks), Bryn Recker (10 kills, .500 attack percentage) and Meghan Niski (nine kills, .600 attack percentage) did most of the damage. They combined for 31 of the team's 39 kills on the evening.

NSU held the lead in the early part of the first set. Five different players had kills for the Spartans, and Tyler had a solo block for a 13-9 lead. From there, though, JMU won eight straight and 12 of the next 14 points to pull away.
 
Down 4-3 in the second set, JMU won seven of the next eight points for a five-point lead. Kills by sophomore Dominique Parker and senior Angie Darcus and an error on the Dukes cut the deficit to 13-11, but they pushed the lead to as much as nine in taking the second stanza.
