Saints roll past Wolverines, remain untouched in CAC play

Box Score

DOVER, Del.— The Marymount (Va.) University women's volleyball team rolled past Capital Athletic Conference opponent Wesley College on Wednesday night, 3-0 (25-19, 25-16, 25-23), to remain untouched in league play with a 4-0 record, 17-5 overall.

In set one, the Saints went to work early, piecing together a 4-0 run to take a 5-2 lead. Junior Margaret McAlpin sparked the run on a kill, followed by back-to-back aces by senior Emileigh Rettig, before it was finished on a Wolverine error. Marymount continued to piece together small runs, gaining an eight-point advantage at 21-13. Sophomore Caroline Hanson set up McAlpin for the last kill of the set to win, 25-19.

MU picked right back up in set two to take a 7-4 lead before Wesley battled its way back into the set and take the lead at 9-8. Hanson answered the Wolverines with three-straight aces followed by back-to-back kills from McAlpin and Rettig to regain the lead at 14-10. The Saints maintained their lead as they cruised through the rest of the set on an 11-6 run, finished by three-straight kills from sophomore Maggie Munro, 25-16. 

Set three proved to be a tougher battle between both squads, seeing multiple lead changes and ties throughout the set. The momentum shifted back-and-forth allowing no more than a three-point lead by either team. The Saints were able to keep their composure and finish on top, 25-23, to seal up their ninth three-set sweep of the season.

Senior Mallory Mitchell paced the Saints on offense, registering a match-high 12 kills. On the offensive end, seven Saints were able to notch at least one kill on the night to finish with a team total of 38 kills compared to Wesley's 27. Junior Christine Tieman and Hanson each added 11 and 17 assists, respectively, while freshman libero Theresa Buscemi led the defense with a match-high 13 digs. In front of the net, the Saints put up a wall that registered 18 total blocks, led by Munro's career-high eight, two of which were solo blocks. 

The women will continue CAC play at Salisbury University on Friday, October 14. First serve is set for 7 p.m.
