WALTHAM, Mass. – The Williams College volleyball team (3-1) finished in second place overall in the Brandeis Invitational Tournament. The Ephs' suffered an early 3-1 (20-25, 25-21, 25-13, 25-18) loss to UMass-Boston and later won 3-1 (25-17, 23-25, 25-10, 25-19) against conference opponent Trinity College on the second and final day of competition.
“UMass was a very solid team, good ball control, good offense. We didn’t play as well as we would have liked to on executing the little things,” said head coach Christi Kelsey.
Despite the loss, junior Emily Avis posted 35 assists, junior Kate Anderson picked up 16 kills and twelve digs, and senior Chelsea Kubal got 10 kills and eleven digs.
Later in the afternoon, Anderson (22 kills), Kubal (12 digs), Avis (42 assists), senior Andrea Scioscia (13 digs), and junior Nicole Ballon-Landa (12 kills) pushed the Ephs toward their hard earned victory over Trinity.
Coach Kelsey says that “the match against Trinity was a good one for us to face a conference opponent. They have a solid team and we will see them later on in the season. The girls played well from start to finish.”
Senior middle blocker Whitney Hitchcock was named to the All-Tournament Team.
Next up for the Ephs' is the Stevens Tech Invitational on September 18th. |
