Women's Volleyball Open League Slate at Clarkson

Golden Knights surge to a 3-0 victory over Brewers

POTSDAM, NY – The Vassar College women's volleyball team opened their Liberty League slate on Friday evening, shouldering a tough 3-0 loss to Clarkson University at Alumni Gymnasium. The victory, which saw senior Kate Isaksen become the program's all-time leader in digs in the second set, moves the Golden Knights to 13-3 overall. The Brewers are now 4-10.

The Golden Knights improved to 13-3 overall and 1-0 in the Liberty League, while Vassar College dropped to 4-10 overall and 0-1 in conference games. Clarkson takes on Bard College on Saturday afternoon, while the Brewers travel to face St. Lawrence University.

On the night where Isaksen set the digs mark, points were actually going fairly quickly at the start of the match. Only one dig was tallied between the two teams in the first 20 points of the set, with Clarkson leading 11-9 after a kill from Rachel Reusch.

The Knights earned two more points to force Vassar into a timeout, and the Brewers hung close with Clarkson, getting back to within three on several occasions and trailing 20-17 late in the set. A kill from Ocean Bryan got Clarkson rolling again and the Knights finished off the game with a margin of four, with Bryan ending things on another kill.

The next two sets were not as close, as Clarkson's offense began to assert itself, striking for 16 kills in the second and 14 kills in the third, while the Brewers averaged just eight kills per set in the final two games.

Reusch finished with 12 kills and two aces and Kristin Werdine tossed in 11 kills. Ocean Bryan also recorded nine kills. Isabelle Crow notched 33 assists with a pair of aces and Gillian Kurtic and Delaney Harrison each contributed three total blocks. Emma Baxter led the defense with 14 digs and Isaksen finished with 12 digs.

For Vassar, Claire Basler-Chang led the offense with nine kills, Madison Wilson ran the offense to the tune of 23 assists, and Claire Bialek was busy in the back row with 19 digs. Colette Cambey paced the blocking effort with two block assists, while five others also notched a block in the contest.
