PHILADELPHIA -- Mollie Rogers had a match-high 18 kills and added 20 digs as the Bulldogs won their second straight Ivy road match in a sweep of Penn on Friday night at the Palestra.

The scores of the match were 25-16, 27-25, 25-17.  

Yale, now 3-1 in the Ivy League, travels to Princeton on Saturday.  The Tigers are 4-0 in conference.

Kaitlyn Gibbons added a double-double with 11 kills and 12 digs, while Kelly Johnson had seven kills and 16 digs while hitting .438 for the match. 

"I thought we really came together as team tonight, especially in the second set, and picked up an important road win," Yale lead coach Erin Appleman said.

The Bulldogs never trailed in the first game and set the tone for the match.  Maddie Rudnick capped a 12-4 run with a service ace, one of five on the night for Yale, to the Bulldogs a 13-5 lead.

Rogers and Gibbons added kills that would push the lead to 17-8, the largest of the set.

The second set was tied 15 different times and went down to the wire.  Down 23-20, the Bulldogs mounted a comeback to tie the set.

It started with a kill from Maya Midzik, then another from Rogers, ro cut the deficit to 23-22.  After a Yale error pushed the score to set point, the Bulldogs caught fire again.

Rogers went back-to-back with kills, followed by Claire Feeley who gave Yale the lead at 25-24.  Penn would get the next point off a kill from Kendall Turner.  

However, Rogers would put the Bulldogs back in front for good with her eighth kill of the set.  

In the third set, Yale led throughout.  Rogers and Gibbons gave Yale an early 4-1 lead.  The lead would increase after a 9-5 run, that included three kills from Johnson.  The run was capped by Karlee Fuller, who posted seven kills on the night.
