Daemen Runs ECC Winning Streak To 27 Straight

Wildcats Down Host Mavericks In Straight Sets

DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. – Make it 27 consecutive wins in regular season East Coast Conference play for the Daemen University women's volleyball team as the Wildcats went on the road to defeat Mercy University 3-0 (25-13, 25-23, 25-20) today. The host Mavericks had no answer for Daemen's freshman phenom Charlotte Koerber (Munich, Germany) who tallied 17 kills and .533 hitting percentage to lead the way. 

With the victory, the Wildcats improved to 13-4 overall and 4-0 in ECC play this season. It also marks Daemen's sixth consecutive victory overall. 

Mercy, which was picked in a tie for second place in the ECC's preseason coaches' poll, dropped its second straight match, falling to 7-3 overall and 2-2 in the league.
