Raiders Roll Past Greyhounds Sunday

Colgate uses Potent Offense and Solid Blocking to Earn Season Sweep of Loyola

Baltimore, Md. – Colgate used a balanced and potent attack to cruise to a 3-0 sweep of host Loyola in Patriot League volleyball action Sunday at Reitz Arena.
 
Kathleen Harris and Katie Stebbins tallied eight kills each to highlight a Raider offense that finished the match with a season-high .372 hitting percentage (38K-6E-86TA). Katie Stansbury chipped in seven spikes while Noel Kennebeck and Jaelah Hutchison finished with five kills each.
 
Hutchison was also effective on the defensive side of the ball for Colgate; recording a season-best nine total blocks (four solo).

(on match)
 
"We had a much better match this time versus Loyola.  Jackie set the tone with her serve, which carried into other areas of our game.  Our overall defensive mentality was stronger as well.  We've got to get to work over the next two weeks as we prepare for the Patriot League Tournament."
