Williams College volleyball, winning streak to six matchesWilliams Sports Info - October 06, 2008
Jacob Cerny
WILLIAMSTOWN - The Williams College volleyball team (13-7) extended its season high winning streak to six matches by going undefeated at the Williams Invitational. On day 2, the Ephs defeated Westfield State 3-0 (25-5, 25-26, 25-14) and Skidmore 3-1 (25-20, 13-25, 25-21, 25-22) to improve their home record to 5-0.
"I'm very proud of our team and I thought we worked hard all weekend," said head coach Fran Vandermeer. "We now have a tough stretch pretty much for the rest of the season and we cannot be more excited."
Against Westfield State, the Ephs came out strong in the first set and never let up the whole match. The big story was the Eph's serve game as juniors Andrea Scioscia (5 aces, 10 digs) and Whitney Hitchcock (4 aces, 4 kills), and sophomores Emily Avis (5 aces, 20 assists) and Eleanor Levine (3 aces) all posted big numbers on the day.
The final match of the day was the most challenging for the Ephs during the tournament. After taking the first set, the Ephs dropped their first set of the tournament in the second. Williams would rebound, however, to take the third set and come back from a 21-19 deficit to close out the match.
"This was a fun match for both teams," said Vandermeer. "Both teams played tremendous defense and there were many long rallies. This match is a preview of what we can expect for the rest of the season."
The Ephs posted very impressive numbers for a large and loud home crowd. Tournament MVP Avis posted 49 assists, 18 digs, and two blocks, while all-tournament team selection Chelsea Kubal recorded 25 digs and 13 kills.
Rounding out the numbers for the Ephs were Levine (6 digs, 7 kills, 4 blocks), Scioscia (16 digs), sophomore Kate Anderson (12 kills, 7 digs, 2 blocks), and first year Aly McKinnon (15 digs, 2 aces).
The Ephs now look forward to another home match Wednesday, October 8th, against SUNY-New Paltz at 7:00 PM.
Williams Invitational All-Tournament Team: Lauren Dinsdale (Skidmore), Katharina Boes (WNEC), Megan Boeltz (SUNY-Oneonta), Jo Fier (Hamilton), Chelsea Kubal (Williams)
Williams Invitational Most Valuable Player: Emily Avis (Williams) |
