The College of Saint Elizabeth's Screaming Eagles Volleyball Team was looking to get to .500 with 2 wins versus Saturday's opponents Manhattanville Valiants and Rosemont Ravens. The day did not start out quite as expected.
The Valiants posed a big threat to the Eagles as their offense and serving game matched up well against CSE. The match became a contest to see who would commit the fewest unforced errors and the Eagles unfortunately could not win it. The Valiants won 25-18, 25-22, 25-15 in a match that saw the Eagles be ahead or tied with the Valiants at various points in the match but, true to form in this match, unforced errors cost the Eagles dearly. A small play that exemplified the team's struggles in this match ocurred in the second set. After the Valiants had taken a 22-18 lead, the Eagles, behind the hitting of Kareemah Muhammad, had crawled back to within 1 at 22-21. The teams traded points and with the score 23-22, the Eagles commited an unforced error on the serve to give the Valiants the lead at 24-22. The Valiants closed it out 1 point later.
Subhana Wrights was dominant and Kareemah Muhammad was the team leader in kills with 12 but it was not enough to carry the Eagles to victory. Chanice Sears also had a solid defensive game, leading the team in block touches with 6 and caused problems for the Valiant offense all match long.
CSE now has a 9W-12L record.
