CLARKS SUMMIT, Pa. - The Wilson College women's volleyball team hit the road this morning for a Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) match at Clarks Summit University. The Phoenix (1-8, 1-1 CSAC) defeated the Defenders (1-12, 0-1 CSAC) 3-0 by scores of 25-9, 25-13, and 25-12 for their first win of the season.

How It Happened: The Phoenix grabbed an early 5-2 lead in the first set with a kill by senior Tia Jones (Springfield, VA., Lake Braddock) closing out the opening run. After the Defenders took a 6-5 lead, the Phoenix ran off 9 of the next 10 points, highlighted by a pair of service aces by freshman Deah Menedis (Reisterstown, MD, Franklin High), for a 14-7 edge. Later in the set, 8 straight points by the Phoenix, finished off with three kills by Jones, junior Anika Eigen-Zucchi (Washington, D.C., St. Johns College High School) and freshman Sage Lague (Fairplay, MD, Goretti) pushed the visitors to a 22-8 lead as they closed out the first set 25-9. In the second set, kills by Jones, senior Tioleaoauli Posiulai (Waipahu, HI., University Laboratory School), and Lague staked the Phoenix to a 4-0 lead. While the Defenders kept it close for the first 10 points, the Phoenix rattled off 6 straight to extend their lead to 13-3. After a short rally by the Defenders made it a 13-8 match, another kill by Eigen-Zucchi and an ace by Menedis sparked a 6 out of 7 point run for the Phoenix to make the score 18-9. A pair of aces by Jones and an ace by Posiulai closed out a 25-13 win for the Phoenix in set 2. The third set was back and forth in the early going as the Phoenix eased out to a 14-10 advantage, however 4 aces by Jones and a kill by Eigen-Zucchi, with an assist from junior Elizabeth Vuxta (Elizabethtown, PA., Elizabethtown), gave the team a lead they would not surrender. The Phoenix closed out the third set 25-12 and the match 3-0.
