Eagles Soar Over Warriors 3-0

HUNTINGDON, Pa.- Juniata's women's volleyball team hosted the Lycoming College Warriors in a conference matchup on Tuesday night, and won in a 3-0 sweep.

The match started in Lycoming's favor, as the Eagles didn't gain a lead until nearly 20 points into the first set. At 10-9, the Eagles were in the midst of a 10-1 run which gave them a big six point cusion and relieved much of the Warriors' pressure. Despite a strong fight from Lycoming, the Eagles would go on another six point streak later in the set to eventually win it 25-14 on a Lycoming service error.

Set two began more how the Eagles expected, as they held a 9-1 lead after the first ten points. The teams traded points throughout the middle of the set, but like the set ended much like it finished, with a big run by Juniata. The Eagles won 11 points in a row to end the set, 25-8. This time the final point came from a kill by Emily Farrell. 

The final set was comfortably controlled by the Eagles. After winning the first six points, the Warriors were in a difficult position. They had only won five points to Juniata's 12 midway through the set. Lycoming did bring the score closer at the end of the set, winning six out of seven points, but this was while the Eagles led from 21-9 through 22-14. The Eagles were able to see it through and win the set 25-14 on a block by Maeve Edmund and Molly Mishinkash. 

Multiple Eagles contributed in the kills column, although Farrell and Mishinkash led with nine and six, respectively. Abbey Telesz led with 21 assists and Kiona Sky Rousset-Hernandez had 13 digs.

The Eagles will move to 18-0 overall and 5-0 in conference play. They will look to keep it going on the road this Friday at 6:00 p.m., when they face they Greyhounds at Moravian University.
