Volleyball Gets Win at Niagara Pod
The Lady Spartans traveled to Niagara for their last Region III pod of the season. After the long trip, the team lined up against a 12-4 Erie team. The team played some very good volleyball but fell to the Cats 3-1. Immediately after that match came Niagara CC. The team dropped the first game, playing flat and uninspired. Rebounded to win the second game, fell in the third game 23-25 when a few unforced errors late sealed the game. The team rebounded to win the 4th game, took an early lead in the 5th game and never let the Thundercats get back into it to win the match. The final match was with Jamestown, ranked 7th in the country, just off their defeat of previously unbeaten OCC, the Jayhawks showed why they are a difficult team to beat. Their defense proved too much for the Lady Spartans to crack and the team fell 3-0. Again the team fought hard all day and even against some superior teams fought until the match ended.
Some of the day's statistical leaders were, Chloe Bush (Cortland, NY) leading the offense with 55 assists on the day. Emily Klock (Jordan-Elbridge, NY) adding in 24 kills and 12 blocks. Leading the defense, Gabby Bell (Syracuse, NY) with 77 digs.
The team's last match of the season will be this Monday at home against Tompkins-Cortland at Spartan Hall at 6pm.
