Abington Too Much For Phoenix

(ABINGTON, Pa.) – The Wilson women's volleyball team fell to Penn State Abington in straight sets in United East action on Wednesday evening. The Phoenix showed improvement both offensively and defensively as the match progressed, but the Lions opened up the evening by hitting .303 in the opening set and rode the momentum to a straight-set victory.

How It Happened
  • After a fast start by the Lions, Wilson climbed back into contention with a 6-3 run to get within two at 12-10. Ashlynn Babbitt (So., Edenton, N.C. / John A. Holmes) was strong during the start with three early kills. At that time Abington started to take control with an 8-0 run. Wilson scored two of the next three on a pair of Jayda Lichty (FY, Hanover, Pa. / Southwestern) kills before Abington closed the frame with four of the following six.
  • The Phoenix faired better in the second and took an early lead as kills from Sydney Tracey (So., York, Pa. / Dallastown / Penn State Mont Alto), Abby Moreland (Sr., Sabillasville, Md. / Catoctin), and Babbitt helped make the score 8-6. Shortly after, Riley Cramer (FY, Chambersburg, Pa. / Chambersburg) made a block, Moreland followed with an ace, and Lichty scored a kill to make it 12-9. Another Lichty kill make it 14-10 before the Lions put together a 7-0 run to regain the lead. Wilson was able to stay within two before Abington closed the set with a 7-2 run.
  • That momentum carried to the third as the Lions opened up with a 7-2 run. Wilson clawed its way to within one thanks to kills from Tracey and Cramer as well as back-to-back aces from Moreland to make the score 9-8. However, that was the closest the Phoenix could get as Abington slowly extended its lead the rest of the way.

  • Lichty led the Phoenix attack with eight kills. She had a solid day defensively with nine kills as well.
  • Defensively Moreland paced the Phoenix with 11 digs.
  • Cramer finished the night with three blocks, her most in a three-set match this season.
