Purple Knights Prevail In Key ECC Matchup

Junior Ali Greenwood Records 1,000th Career Dig For Daemen

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - The University of Bridgeport came away with a big 3-0 victory over Daemen College here today in East Coast Conference women's volleyball action. The teams entered the match tied for second place in the ECC standings behind conference leading Molloy College. The host Purple Knights have now won nine of their last 12 matches and improved to 16-4 overall and 3-1 in the ECC. Daemen, which has also won nine of its last 12 matches, dropped to 11-6 overall and 2-2 in the league.

It marked UB's first win over the Wildcats since the 2017 season. Daemen swept the regular-season series last year and had prevailed in six of the previous seven meetings.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • UB rallied for a 25-23 win in game one. The visiting Wildcats jumped out to a 6-2 lead and held a 13-11 lead midway through the game. UB scored seven of the next nine points and maintained the lead the rest of the way.
  • The Purple Knights scored seven of the first nine points in game two and later took a 19-9 lead following a service ace by senior Morgan Knight. The teams traded points the rest of the game and Bridgeport went on to post a 25-16 win.
  • Game three was a back-and-forth affair and neither team led by more than three points until a late 5-0 run by the Wildcats gave the visitors a 24-20 lead. UB answered with five unanswered points of its own to take a 25-24 lead, and the hosts carried that momentum to a 27-25 victory to secure the match.
  • Sophomore Sam Logan (Eden, N.Y.) totaled a team-high 10 kills for the Wildcats. It marks the second-straight match and the sixth time this season she has totaled 10 of more kills in a match. Senior Meghan Ballou (Eden, N.Y.) and junior Allison Post (Windsor, Calf.) both finished with eights kills for Daemen.
  • Setter Hannah McKee (East Highland, Calf.) turned in another solid effort for Daemen after posting a career-high 29 assists in a 3-0 win over Queens last Saturday. The sophomore finished with 21 assists, two service aces and five digs today.
  • Junior Ali Greenwood (North Aurora, Ill.) registered a team-high 15 digs, and in the process recorded her 1,000th career dig.
  • Senior Emily Burford led UB with 10 kills, while junior Klein Johnson totaled 20 assists and seven digs.
