At the Lehigh Mountain Hawk Invitational, the Marist College women's volleyball finished 2-1 on the weekend and improved to 5-2 overall for the season.
Despite dropping their match Friday, Foxes' volleyball team made yet another impressive showing in their second tournament of the year.
The team started off Friday falling to a talented North Carolina State squad, 30-27, 30-19 and 30-24.
Marist rebounded Saturday by beating host Lehigh in four games (28-30, 30-26, 31-29, 30-18).
In the game, sophomore Sally Hanson filled the stat sheet for the Red Foxes, notching 14 kills, one service ace and four total blocks. Fresh off the victory, the team next promptly defeated Columbia in three games (30-25, 30-22, 30-27).
Sophomore Jaime Kenworthy led Marist in the second game, notching a double-double while recording 10 kills and 12 digs. As an added bonus, during the last game, junior Katie Lux (Wantagh, NY) broke the school's career digs record.
Lux came into the season ranked second on Marist's all-time list with 763 digs. Six matches and 99 digs later (including eight Saturday against Columbia), Lux passed Julie Gosewich's previous record of
volleyball loses 861, ending the day with a career total of 866. In addition, the junior libero was named defensive player of the week.
Hanson finished the weekend with 60 kills in 16 games and 12 aces. That play earned the sophomore co-offensive player of the week honors, along with Jaclyn Levi of Rider. Marist frosh Christy Lukes was named rookie of the week, totaling seven aces and eight block assists.
This marks the first time in school history Marist has swept weekly award honors. The 5-2 record is also the best start under head coach Sarah Watters.
"We are really young, but everyone is doing a good job of coming together and playing as a team. We are really excited about what we're doing right now," Watters said.
The pumped-up squad next suit up when they host the Red Fox Classic on Sept. 17-18 at the McCann Center. Coach Watters said the team is looking forward to their first home game.
"The girls are excited to finally be home, playing in front of a home crowd and seeing what they can do at the McCann Center," Watters said.
Marist plays Central Connecticut at noon and University of Delaware at 6 p.m. on Friday, and Brown University at 10 a.m. and Holy Cross at 2 p.m.
