21-25, 23-25, 11-25

We gave 100% effort our first two matches and came so close to a win – I am very proud of the never give up attitude shown by our team.  Lauren Kennedy played a strong middle position with excellent consistent serving.  Meghan O’Connor was everywhere on the court making multiple back row kills and excellent passes.  Mikayla Keorber set accurately and had numerous digs and Lilly Sheridan did well communicating passing as the libero.

Coach’s Comments:

This was a difficult course on a hot day and while the times were slow I think there is quite a bit to take away from this meet. We have been doing quite a bit of work on hills and that was a strong point for us but this was a very talented Triton team that had depth that we just didn’t match today. That being said I’m very proud of everyone who toughed it out in the race.

BEVERLY – Rachel Hanna’s (Chelmsford, Mass.) goal with just over one minute to play in the second overtime period lifted Endicott to a 3-2 win over Babson on Wednesday night.
Hanna was able to bury a rebound that was created by Catherine Elkas’ (Holden, Mass.) shot that was saved and poked off the cross-bar, which Hanna then one-timed into the back of the net for her second tally of the match. The goal was Hanna’s ninth of the season while the assist was Elkas’ first.

Back-to-back blocks by Severino gave Salem State a 15-13 lead in set three. A block and two kills by Rodriguez drew Framingham State to within a point at 19-18, but once again Salem State held firm as kills by O’Connor and Severino broke a 22-all tie before Salem State completed the victory by a 25-22 margin.
