WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – In what was perhaps the most intense game of the season, the Williams College volleyball team (10-4) earned a 3-1 (25-23, 25-15, 25-15, 25-20) victory over their rival Amherst College. After the dropping a tough first set to the Lord Jeffs, the Ephs came back to outlast them for three straight sets.
“We knew to expect a battle in this match. Amherst is always an emotional match,” said head coach Christi Kelsey. “We probably have one of the oldest rivalries in our conference.”
The tension between the two teams was evident from the start of the match. Both teams battled from point to point, letting no ball hit the ground without a player hitting the floor with it. “This is the best I’ve seen our girls play in four weeks,” said Kelsey.
Coming off of the loss of game one, the Ephs got off to a weak start in game two. However, they were able to pick up the pace and dominate for the next two sets, winning both 25-15. The strength of the Ephs continued on into game four, as junior OH Kate Anderson (26 kills) slammed one down to earn the very first point of the set with an assist from junior setter Emily Avis (58 total assists). On defense, senior team captain Chelsea Kubal picked up a team-high 26 digs and 17 kills, while senior DS Andrea Scoscia posted 18 digs.
Satisfied with the way the team played, coach Kelsey said that “we maintained our composure throughout the match and played solid volleyball from start to finish.”
