The Screaming Eagles traveled to Baltimore, Md. to take on the Gators of Notre Dame. CSE was looking to bounce back from a tough 5 set loss to PS Abbington and re-establish their winning ways.
The first set did not start well for the Eagles as they had 8 straight offensive errors which put the team in an 11-7 hole early on. A couple of kills from Katie Cooper and a Gator error allowed CSE to be within 1 at 14-15 but a block by Notre Dame pushed the lead back up to 2. After a Subhana Wrights and Katie Cooper block, CSE trailed 16-20 but the Gators went on a 5-0 run to close out the set 25-16.
The second set saw a much more precise Screaming Eagle squad. The Eagles opened up a 10-2 lead behind kills by Wrights, Kareemah Muhammad and Kiara Francisco while K. Cooper hit for a couple of aces in the run. Although Notre Dame was able to break serve, the Eagles got it right back and Jenae Goodson extended the lead to 23-5 after 5 aces and a Wrights' kill and block with Amy Cooper. Muhammad finshid off the Gators in set 2 with a kill out of the left side to seal the set at 25-6.
The 3rd set was a competitive game with neither team able to pull away early. With the score 6-5, a Gator hitting error and a K. Cooper ace to get the Eagles a 3 point lead that they would not relinquish. The Gators closed to within 2 multiple times but each time a Notre Dame error or an Eagle kill pushed the Eagle back up to 3. After Notre Dame closed to within 2 again at 19-17, 3 straight errors by the Gators gave the Eagles a 22-17 lead that was insurmountable. A Wrights' kill and a Zuleima Molina ace helped seal Notre Dame's fate in the set 25-18.
The 4th set saw the Eagles jump out to a 5-0 lead behind A. Cooper's 2 aces and a K. Cooper kill. Although the Gators were able to gain possession of the ball, the Eagles ran out to a 10-3 lead behind a K. Cooper kill and ace. After a break of serve, CSE went on a 4-0 run that took the air out of the Gator team as they trailed 14-5. CSE and Notre Dame traded points from that point on and the Eagles continued to control the set 21-11. Kareemah Muhammad closed out the set with a kill to the 10ft. line that gave the set and match to CSE 25-18.
Subhana Wrights and Katie Cooper hit for 10 kills apiece and Kareemah Muhammad had 9 as Amy Cooper ran a balanced offense and collected 29 assists. Jenae Goodson notched 6 aces and Katie Cooper added 5 to pace a 17 ace attack by CSE. Katie also had a team high 17 digs and Rachel Hausler added 11 to lead the Eagle effort.
The Eagles look to get their 12th win when the team takes on the Bloodhounds of John Jay College at St. Joe's Hall, Tuesday, October 2, at 7 pm.
