Weekend Summary Nov. 29
Women’s Volleyball down but not out
It was another tough weekend for Memorial’s women’s
volleyball team as they were defeated twice in straight sets by the
Acadia University Axewomen in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
Saturday Acadia 3 Memorial 0 (boxscore)
On Saturday night it was all Axewomen as the Sea~Hawks were unable
to get anything going offensively tallying only 20 kills, while
adding 22 attack errors. Left side Sasha Wilkins led the way with
10 kills, while adding 2 service aces and 12 digs. On the Acadia
side of the net Alana Murphy tallied 10 kills, while Nicole
Davidson and Alyssa Berry each added 7 on the way Acadia’s
25-18, 25-21, 25-17 victory.
Sunday Acadia 3 Memorial 0 (boxscore)
In Sunday’s rematch the story was much the same as the
Axewomen defeated the Sea~Hawks 25-19, 25-12, 25-21 on their home
court. Alyssa Berry had 9 kills and no hitting errors for Acadia,
while libero Pam Giordani had a match high 21 digs. It was Wilkins
once again leading the way for Memorial with 8 kills, followed by
sophomore Erin Bursey who chipped in with 5 kills, and 9 digs in
the Sea~Hawks defeat. With the victories Acadia now moves into a
tie for first place in the AUS.
The Sea~Hawks will now take Christmas break to re-group before they
open 2010 at home on January 8th when they host the last place
Université de Moncton Aigles Bleues at the Field House. The
Sea~Hawks faced their share of adversity opening the season and
look to settle in and find a rhythm in the competitive AUS.
