With the Eagles’ first conference victory in the bank, CSE looked to score an upset against
Keuka College. Keuka, however, had
other ideas.
Keuka pounded the Eagles into submission in set 1 and the
Storm put the Eagles into tough situations with their serving and CSE just
could not get their offense in gear. The squad managed only 5 kills in the set and were never much
of a factor in the 25-14 loss of the set.
The 2nd set was a complete turnaround as the
Eagles managed to control their passing and attack with greater
efficiency. They stood toe-to-toe
with Keuka and began to slow down the Storm’s offense in the process. The Eagles pulled away late and closed
out the set 25-23. The team hit
for 11 kills and only 4 errors in the set.
The 3rd set proved to be more of the same as the
Eagles and Keuka engaged in another point for point battle. The Eagles still got 11 kills in the
set but had 7 errors and that was enough to give the storm breathing room as
they pulled away late and scored an 18-25 set win.
The 4th set was a repeat but setter Amy Cooper
had taken a hit on the head earlier in the match and had to come out of the
match due to concussion concerns.
Late in the set as the Eagles had pulled to a tie at 15. The Eagles struggled with the new
setter and gave up points to the Storm rather quickly as their offense sputtered. Eagles fell to the Storm 19-25.
Katie Cooper led the offensive effort with 12 kills and Subhana
Wrights and Chanice Sears held the middle together with a combined 13
kills. Kareemah Muhammad chipped
in with 7 kills to round out the offense.
Rachel Hausler once again led the team in pass attempts (50) and digs (16)
while Misato Oya had another 10 digs to lead the defensive effort.
