Warriors Edge Phoenix

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - The Wilson College women's volleyball team hosted Lycoming College in a non-conference match-up this evening at the Gannett Memorial Field House. The Warriors (6-9) topped the Phoenix (0-7) by a score of 3-0 with set scores of 25-15, 26-24, and 25-18.

How It Happened: After a slow start in the first set that saw the Warriors jump out to a 7-2 lead, the Phoenix scored four straight points, highlighted by a kill by senior Tioleaoauli Posiulai (Waipahu, HI., University Laboratory School) and an ace by senior Tia Jones (Springfield, VA., Lake Braddock) to make the score 7-6. A kill by Anika Eigen-Zucchi (Washington, D.C., St. Johns College High School) tied things at 8-8. An 9-2 run by the Warriors followed to push the score to 17-10 and the visitors would go on to claim the set 25-15. During the second set, the Warriors grabbed an early 11-3 advantage, but the Phoenix would come roaring back. Kills by Eigen-Zucchi, Jones and freshman Deah Menedis (Reisterstown, MD, Franklin High), sparked a Phoenix run that saw the team pull within 18-15. Later in the set, back-to-back service aces by Menedis brought the Phoenix closer at 21-19. An ace by Eigen-Zucchi and a kill by freshman Sage Lague (Fairplay, MD, Goretti) evened the score at 22-22. The Phoenix were on the verge of taking the second set with a 24-23 lead, however the Warriors would record a pair of kills and take advantage of an attack error by the Phoenix to claim the 26-24 win. The battle continued in the third set as kills by Eigen-Zucchi and Lague, coupled with back-to-back kills by Jones, pushed the Phoenix out to a 5-1 lead. After the Warriors knotted things up at 5-5, the Phoenix used a 5-2 run to take a 10-7 lead. The two teams continued to play close as neither could pull away from the other until back-to-back aces by Jones put the Phoenix ahead 18-16. However, the combination of some errors by the Phoenix and timely kills by the Warriors saw the visitors rattle off the final nine points en route to the 25-18 victory in set 3.

Inside the Box Score: Jones led the Phoenix with 8 kills, 3 aces, and 6 blocks. Junior Elizabeth Vuxta (Elizabethtown, PA., Elizabethtown) had a match high 20 assists to go along with 8 digs. Senior Sierra Hill (Hagerstown, Md., South Hagerstown) led the Phoenix with 16 digs.
