Williams College volleyball ended a two match losing streakWilliams Sports Info - October 30, 2008
Jacob Cerny
MIDDLEBURY, VT - The Williams College volleyball team (19-12, 4-3) ended a two match losing streak within the NESCAC Wednesday night with a 3-1 (25-23, 25-23, 19-25, 25-10) over host Middlebury. The match was the first of four NESCAC matches that close out the regular season for the Ephs.
"This was a solid win for us tonight," said head coach Fran Vandermeer. "Our block was very consistent all night and it was one of the keys to victory."
After coming off two wins on the final day of the Hall of Fame Tournament, the Ephs had to battle early as Middlebury fought to the last point in the first two sets, and actually captured the third set. The Ephs, however, were too much for the Panthers as they took the final set in convincing fashion.
The star performer for the Ephs Wednesday night was junior co-captain Chelsea Kubal, who posted 11 kills, 16 digs, 9 assists, and 3 blocks. Splitting time with Kubal at setter was junior Melissa Pun who tallied 30 assists and two aces.
The block success for the Ephs was led by sophomores Eleanor Levine (8 blocks, 8 digs, 6 kills), Kate Anderson (6 blocks, 15 kills), and Nicole Ballon-Landa (4 blocks, 18 kills). Rounding out the numbers for the Ephs were senior Riki McDermott (6 digs), junior Andrea Scioscia (10 digs), and first year Aly McKinnon (10 digs, two aces).
The Ephs now travel to Colby for the final NESCAC weekend of the season. The action starts Friday night at 6 PM with a match against Colby. |
