Women's Volleyball Splits Home Tri-Match After Taking Down Cardinals, 3-1

GENESEO, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo women's volleyball team earned a split in its home tri-match on Saturday, September 10 as they fell in the opener to Heidelberg 3-2, but then bounced back in the final game with a 3-1 victory over St. John Fisher.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Against Heidelberg, the Knights got off to a slow start as they trailed 7-2 early. Geneseo eventually climbed back into the game and tied it up at 19-19 after back-to-back kills from junior outside hitter Linda Rossi and a block from Rossi and Madison Gamberg. The big three-point run wasn't enough to give the Knights the boost they needed to steal the opening frame and they fell 25-21.
  • Rossi stayed hot on offense for Geneseo in the second set as she tallied seven kills to lead the team to a 25-17 victory. The Knights relentless attack continued into the third set as they hit .303 as a team and took a 2-1 lead with a 25-11 win.
  • Geneseo couldn't keep their momentum going and went on to drop the fourth and fifth sets by four points each. Heidelberg was powered by a six-point run in the fifth set to end up taking an 11-7 advantage.
  • The Knights bounced back in their second match of the day, taking a dramatic first-set win over St. John Fisher, 27-25. Geneseo fought off a set point at 24-23 with a kill from senior middle blocker Jackie Borland. After trading the next two points with the Cardinals, back-to-back kills from Rossi sealed the first-set win.
  • Geneseo dropped the second set to St. John Fisher, but they were able to rebound with another clutch performance late in the third set. With the score tied at 20-20, the Knights won five of the next six points, capped off by a kill from sophomore outside hitter Shannon Zembrzycki to end the set at 25-21 for Geneseo.
  • After trailing 5-4 in the fourth set, the Knights never trailed again to the Cardinals and went on to win the final set 25-21. Their defensive effort held St. John Fisher to a match-low nine kills and .029 hitting percentage in the set.
