Volleyball Sweeps Final Two Matches of Garnet Invite

SWARTHMORE, PA. - The Swarthmore College volleyball team finished the opening weekend strong with a pair of victories over UMASS Boston, 3-1, and SUNY Cortland, 3-2, on Saturday. The Garnet went 2-1 in their home tournament with their only loss at the hands of No. 1 Juniata, who swept through the tournament.

Isabel Adam and Alexia Enache both ended the tournament with 30+ kills. Adam led the way with 38, while Enache tallied 35. Both athletes played pivotal roles in today's sweep with the top-two kill totals in both games, respectively. 

Melissa Eyer was outstanding as she led the team in digs for all three games. She closed the weekend with 60 digs to lead the team. 

SWARTHMORE 3, UMASS 1
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Swarthmore controlled the opening set with a convincing 25-14 victory. With the game knotted at five, Aiste Bardauskaite, Madeline Mountcastle and Enache strung together three-straight kills to distance themselves from the Beacons. The Garnet never looked back as they led the rest of the way, including an 8-1 run to clinch the opening set. 

- The Garnet continued to flex its muscles with another lopsided 25-14 decision in set two. Midway through the stanza, Swarthmore used an 8-1 run to take an eight point lead. Emily Sun helped lead the charge with two service aces - tallying five for the match, while Adam added a pair of kills. Swarthmore ended the set with three-straight points with a pair of Jalyn Miller kills and a Sun service ace. 

- The Beacons kept their hopes alive with a 25-22 victory in the third set. Swarthmore was unable to gain separation, allowing UMASS to hang around and flip the game in its favor with an 8-1 run, 22-17. Swarthmore clawed back with a 5-1 swing, but ran out of runway as the Beacons tallied consecutive points to force a fourth set. 

- The Garnet seemed poised to run away with the fourth set after opening with five-straight points and building a 16-8 lead. However, the Beacons continued to hang around before rallying off five-straight points to pull within two. Swarthmore finally clinched victory with a UMASS service ace, 25-22.
