Williams Sports Info 09:46AM / Monday, September 21, 2009
HOBOKEN, NJ – The Williams College volleyball team (4-3) finished the Stevens Tech Invitational with an overall record of 1-2. On the second day of play, the Ephs' dropped their first match to tournament host Stevens Tech (26-24, 22-25, 25-22, 21-25, 13-15) and defeated SUNY-Cortland 3-0 (25-21, 25-15, 25-17).
In their first match of the day the Ephs' faced off against the Stevens Tech Ducks, a solid team all around. Williams took a hard earned first set 26-24, but slipped just short of victory in game two. Despite another win in game three (25-22), the Ducks were able to outlast the Ephs' in the fourth and fifth sets.
“The Stevens match was a hard fought match by both teams from start to finish. We came up just short at the end. We have to focus on finishing matches when we have the opportunity, but Stevens was a very solid team,” said head coach Christi Kelsey.
Rounding out the numbers for Ephs' were junior Nicole Ballon-Landa (who earned a team high 15 kills), seniors Melissa Pun (13 kills, 20 digs) and Chelsea Kubal (11 kills, 21 digs), and junior Emily Avis (40 assists, 14 digs).
In their next match, The Ephs' dominated SUNY-Cortland from start to finish.
“As far as SUNY-Cortland, we came out from the first point and took control of the match. I was really proud of how this win was a total team effort across the board on offense and defense. Our team really stepped up.”
Ballon-Landa and junior Eleanor Levine posted 9 kills each, and Kubal (11 kills, 18 digs), senior Whitney Hitchcock (8 kills), senior Andrea Scioscia (11 digs), and freshman Mika Nakashige (11 digs), gave impressive performances.
Junior setter Emily Avis was given All-Tournament Team honors.
