WALTHAM, MA – 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," said head coach Christi Kelsey. "We didn't play as
well as we would have liked to on executing the little
things.”
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 said 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 (NJ) on
September 18th.
