ROCHESTER, NY
–
The Williams College women’s volleyball team (11-5, 2-0)
dropped two matches Saturday to finish 2-2 at the Nazareth
Invitational. The Ephs fell to host Nazareth 3-2 (19-30,
32-34, 30-17, 30-21, 15-9) in the morning and then lost to eventual
champion Cortland State 3-1 (30-25, 33-35, 30-21, 30-23) in the
afternoon.
Despite the defeats,
sophomore Melissa Pun was selected to the all-tournament team for
the second consecutive weekend. Pun, who was awarded the
impressive honors last week at the MIT Invitational, smashed 17
kills to go along with 21 digs in the Nazareth match.
The Ephs jumped out
to a 2-0 lead against Nazareth but could not finish off the Golden
Flyers, dropping the final three games. In the loss, first
year setter Emily Avis posted a season high 52 assists and 7 digs,
while fellow first year Kate Anderson tallied 17 kills.
Junior captain Riki McDermott collected 13 digs, while
sophomore Andrea Scioscia recorded 16 digs of her own.
Williams comes home
next Saturday, October 6th, to play three matches. The Ephs
will host Rutgers-Newark (11:00 AM), Skidmore (1:00 PM), and St.
Joseph (3:00 PM).
