Williams College volleyball team lost its second match to Amherst - October 27, 2008
NORTHAMPTON, Mass - The Williams College volleyball team (16-12) lost its second match to Amherst in three days, 1-3 (25-13, 16-25, 18-25, 21-25), Friday night in the opening match of the Hall of Fame Tournament. The fourth seeded Ephs started strong with a decisive first set victory but could not carry over the momentum, as the fifth seeded Lord Jeffs failed to drop a set for the rest of the match.
"We set the tone early, but then let a very good Amherst team back into the match," said head coach Fran Vandermeer. "We are still working on improving on the mental toughness side of volleyball."
The Ephs looked poised to rebound from Tuesday's disappointing loss as they reeled off an 11-0 run early in the first set. After that, however, Amherst was able to pull ahead in every other set. In the match's final set, the Ephs held a 19-17 lead before allowing Amherst to close out on an 8-2 run.
Despite the loss, the Ephs received good numbers from senior Riki McDermott (19 digs), junior Whitney Hitchcock (7 kills, 4 blocks), sophomore Kate Anderson (7 kills, 4 blocks), and first year Aly McKinnon (15 digs, 3 aces). |
