Volleyball opens 2010 with a home victory
Gameday Recap
The women’s volleyball opened 2010 with a win in front of the home crowd at the Field House. The Sea~Hawks played a back and forth match with the Universite de Moncton, but gained momentum late the first set to gain a quick two set advantage, on their way to a 3-1 set victory.
Sasha Wilkins once again led the charge for Terry Mosher’s
team. Wilkins, the fourth year from Gambo, came up with some key
plays, including a key over-the-head save in front of the Sea~Hawks
bench that set up the clinching point of the first set.
The Sea~Hawks and Aigles Bleus traded points early in the second
with the ‘Hawks gaining separation late on their way to a
25-22 set win and solid 2-0 set advantage.
Moncton would not quit despite the two set hole. Genevieve LeMay
was big on the attack in the third set, which Moncton would win
25-16.
In the third set the Sea~Hawks would get strong play from Wilkins
and Angela Peddle, as well as couple of late points from Jessica
Crocker to seal the match. The win is the Sea~Hawks first of the
season.
Wilkins had a team leading 14 kills and 15 digs. Beth Forsey has a
match high 35 set assists. Peddle, the HITS FM Player of the Game
for Memorial, added 12 kills. Moncton setter Veronique Carroll was
the HITS FM Player of the Game for Moncton.
The teams will play the second game of the double header series
tomorrow morning at the Field House at 10:00 a.m.
