Volleyball Falls to Hopkins in Centennial Semifinals

BALTIMORE - The Swarthmore College volleyball team dropped a three-set battle at Johns Hopkins University in the Centennial Tournament Semifinals on Friday night.

Angelina Heminway led the attack with six kills and a .267 hitting percentage, while Trisha Razdan and Kaylee Zhang also contributed six kills. Ellie Streeper held things down on the defensive end with a match-high 23 digs and Zindzhi Montgomery added a couple blocks.

Swarthmore kept the game close in all three sets, but were unable to piece together a late rally to overtake the Blue Jays. Johns Hopkins out-swung the Garnet with a .266 hitting percentage, while Swarthmore hit just .071. The Blue Jays also held an 8-2 advantage in blocks.

Swarthmore battled back late in the set, but were unable to recover from Hopkins' late run, 25-19.
