AMHERST, N.Y.- Building on yesterday's win over Queens College, the Daemen College women's volleyball team posted a resounding straight-sets victory (25-16, 25-17, 25-20) over the visiting Molloy College Lions on Sunday morning in their second match of what will be a six-game home stand for the Wildcats. Now on a two-match winning streak, this was Daemen's 10th win of the season and their fourth triumph in East Coast Conference play. They are now 10-9 overall and 4-5 in ECC competition this year, while the Lions slipped to 9-11 on the year and 3-4 in ECC play.

Daemen jumped out to a commanding 15-5 lead in the first set, and didn't look back, at one point holding a lead as large as 12 points en route to a 25-16 victory in the opening frame of the match. A similarly strong start to the second set staked Daemen to a 2-0 lead in sets, as the Wildcats stormed out to a 15-7 lead and coasted to a 25-17 win.

Molloy would gain their first lead of the match at 6-5 in the third set, and would hang tough with the Wildcats throughout the third frame until Daemen pulled away at the very end for a 25-20 win to cement their straight-sets victory.

The Wildcats received strong performances from seniors Kaley Vazquez (Kenmore, N.Y./Kenmore West) and Paige Tilert (Derby, N.Y./Lake Shore), junior Ye Wang (Beijing, China/ Hachioji Jissen) and freshman Amber Dryzmala (West Seneca, N.Y./St. Mary's of Lancaster). Vazquez paced Daemen with 24 assists and Wang led the Wildcats with 17 kills.  Tilert and Dryzmala tied with a team-best 12 digs apiece.
