Wildcats Get Back On Track With Sweep Of Tourney Day Two

Wildcats Oust Davis & Elkins and Indiana (Pa.) To Close Cal Vulcan Invitational

CALIFORNIA, Pa. - The Daemen College women's volleyball team salvaged a split of their four matches at the Cal Vulcan Invitational by sweeping today's action at Hamer Hall. The Wildcats started the day with a 3-0 defeat (25-21, 25-22, 25-22) of Davis & Elkins College, and then followed up with a 3-1 victory (25-16, 21-25, 25-22, 25-16) over Indiana University (Pa.). The results today push Daemen back over .500 for the season at 4-3. 

HIGHLIGHTS: DAEMEN VS. DAVIS & ELKINS

  • The Wildcats racked up 12+ kills in each of the three sets, and hit .224 for the match.
  • Junior outside hitter Allison Post (Windsor, Calif.) led the way with 12 kills, while classmate Jenn Heritz (Granger, Ind.) tossed in 11 kills on a .526 hitting percentage. 
  • Georgia Wicker (Woodstock, Ill.) led the team in assists for the first time this season, totaling 20. Isa McCaffrey (North Royalton, Ohio) chipped in with 17 assists as well. 
  • Ali Greenwood (North Aurora, Ill.) led the way defensively with 12 digs, while Meghan Ballou (Eden, N.Y.) contributed five blocks. 


HIGHLIGHTS: DAEMEN VS. INDIANA (PA.)

  • A balanced offensive attack saw five Daemen players total at least seven kills. Sam Logan (Eden, N.Y.) led the way with 13 kills.

HEAD COACH STEPHANIE ALBANO POST-GAME COMMENTS

"I liked the way we rebounded from a hard day yesterday. We found ways to finish, and we developed some trust in ourselves and one another." 


GAME NOTES
  • Logan was named to the all-tournament team. She totaled 39 kills and 40 digs over four tournament matches. 
  • The Wildcats picked up their first-ever win over both Davis & Elkins and Indiana (Pa.). The Senators had emerged victorious in their previous two encounters with Daemen (2005 and 2017), and IUP won their only prior meeting (2017).  
  • McCaffrey extended her streak of consecutive matches with at least 10 assists to 39 straight; with 1,243 assists, she stands 29 shy of moving into the top-10 in team history.
  • Greenwood has recorded 10+ digs in all seven matches this season, and in 47 of 62 career matches. She's reached 10 digs in 37 of the last 40 matches dating back to her freshman season. 
  • Through seven matches this season, three players are averaging better than 2.0 kills per set: Post (2.93), Logan (2.36) and Heritz (2.32).
