GLASSBORO, N.J. – Senior Kristin Kirwan (Park Ridge, N.J./Immaculate Heart Academy) became The University of Scranton's all-time leader for career kills on Saturday as the volleyball team earned a pair of non-conference victories at the Rowan Quad, sweeping Frostburg and the host Profs to improve to 14-11 on the season. 

Kirwan broke Anne McGovern's previous record of 1,650 kills established from 1996-1999 on Scranton's 20^th point of the third set of Saturday's opening match, a 3-0 sweep for the Royals over Frostburg.  The senior's record-breaking kill was the ninth of the match and she added five more in Scranton's sweep of Rowan later in the day and now has 1,656 kills for her career after breaking McGovern's mark which had stood for 19 years.
