The Lady Mavs have played particularly strong over the past two weeks, and that play continued this evening. Medaille dominated play early, jumping out to a (10) point lead while building a (10-6) cushion in the first set. The ladies were able to continue that play throughout the first set, taking set one (25-15).
Sets two and three were much closer in score; with D'Youville taking advantage of an uncharacteristically slow offensive set for Medaille in set number three. The Lady Mavs finished the third frame with a (-.073) hitting percentage, dropping their only set of the night.
However, Medaille bounced back in a major way to close out the match. In what can only be called a dominant performance, the Lady Mavs hit for (.448) percent and held D'Youville to under (10) points to secure their third conference victory of the season.
The win improves Medaille to (12-4) overall while keeping them undefeated in AMCC play with a (3-0) record.
Junior Lydia Penberthy (Amherst, NY, Sweet Home) and Jennifer Stebbins (Gowanda, NY, Gowanda) lead the offense for Medaille, both finishing the contest with a team-high (9) kills. Fellow junior Morgan Freeman (Webster, NY, Webster Thomas) chipped in with a season-high (4) service aces, while senior Jenna Cleversley (West Seneca, NY, West Seneca West) paced the Lady Mavs defensively with (19) digs.
Stebbins also added (11) digs in the victory as Medaille will not be in action again until Tuesday, October 13 when they travel to Buffalo State College for a non-conference match-up. The match is scheduled for a 7:00pm start.
