Phoenix Fall in Post Season

BRYN ATHYN, Pa. - The best season in recent history for the Wilson College women's volleyball team came to a close in the Colonial States Athletic Conference tournament this evening. The Phoenix (7-13) fell to the Lions of Bryn Athyn (9-12) by a final score of 3-0 (25-22, 25-21, 25-23).

The Lions jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the first set, however the Phoenix would rally to take an 8-7 advantage on the strength of back-to-back kills by freshman All-CSAC performer Tioleaoauli Posiulai (Waipahu, HI., University Laboratory School) and a service ace by senior Hanna Quarry (Elizabethtown, Pa., Elizabethtown). A 7-2 run by the Lions followed as the hosts opened up a 16-11 lead. The Phoenix took advantage of some mistakes by the Lions and rattled off 8 of 10 points to pull within 24-22, but the Lions closed out the set 25-22. The second set saw both teams run out to a 10-10 tie and trade points until the match was 14-14. A 5-1 run by the Lions created some separation to give the hosts a 19-15 edge. Later in the set, the Phoenix got back-to-back kills from freshmen Tia Jones (Springfield, VA., Lake Braddock) and Madison Coy (Indiana, PA., Penns Manor) to pull within 23-21. Again, the Lions recorded the last two points to close out the set 25-21. The third set saw the Phoenix take advantage of some Lion miscues and used a kill by junior Laury Jean Baptiste (Fort Lauderdale, Fl., Coconut Creek) to take a 7-5 lead. An 8-2 run by the Lions followed as they took a 13-9 lead. A pair of kills by Posiulai and sophomore Lizzy Farnes (Coconut Creek, Fl., Coral Springs) pulled te Phoenix to within 13-12. Later in the set and trailing by four points, the Phoenix would battle back to tie the match at 18-18 with the final point coming on an ace by Coy.
