KING'S VOLLEYBALL DROPS MATCH IN HEARTBREAKER
WILKES-BARRE -- The King's women's volleyball team had an
interesting second day at the Muhlenberg Tournament. In their first
match of the day, they lost to Susquehanna by a
score of 3-2 (25-20, 18-25, 6-25, 25-20, 13-15).
Defensive specialist Danielle
Belfanti led all Monarchs in digs, tallying 33. Katie Doss chipped
in on both sides of the ball, scoring 11 kills and 15 digs. Also
adding to the effort were outside hitter Shannon Ellis had 10 digs,
while Kat Clerici scored 8 kills. Junior Kaitlyn Malshefski
scored 10 kills. On the counter-attack, middle
hitter Emily Kline
blocked four times, and tallied seven kills.
Samantha Garrigues, who handed out 28 assists, was named to the
all-tournament team.
Their second match of the day,
against the Red Devils of FDU-Florham, both coaches decided to
cancel the match due to safety concerns. The rainstorms that came
across the northeastern part of the country created electrical
problems in the gymnasium at Muhlenberg. Both coaches cited safety
concerns when the power kept going in and out and agreed to suspend
the match.
The Lady Monarchs are
back in action this Tuesday in Scandlon Gymnasium at 7:00pm. They
will be taking on Misericordia for the second time this season.
King's won the first meeting in straight sets.
