Led by junior outside hitter Jamie Kenworthy's double-double, the Red Foxes defeated the Farleigh Dickinson Knights, 3 - 1, this past weekend at the Marist Invitational.
Marist took the first game, 30 - 22, then the second game 31 - 29. After losing the third game 30 - 21, the Red Foxes came back and won the final game, 30 - 17 to take the match.
Head coach Sarah Hutton said they rebounded from their shaky third game.
"We just fell apart in the third game," she said. "We made a lot of unforced errors, but we were able to come back and take the final game."
Kenworthy tallied 18 kills and 11 digs during the match against the Knights. Along with Kenworthy was some solid play by junior middle blocker Sally Hanson, middle blocker Jackie Poston, and senior setter Meghan Cochrane.
Hanson had 11 kills on .550 hitting along with three blocks. She had an overall stellar weekend picking up 42 kills on .526 hitting and just one error in all three matches.
Poston led the team with four blocks and five kills along with her team-leading six aces. Cochrane had 43 assists as well as eight digs.
Hutton said their defense carried them through their match.
"We really did a good job of playing overall," she said. "Our blocks helped us on the defensive end and we have been hitting real well so far this season."
Sophomore setter Ruth Levy and sophomore middle hitter Elena Schmidt both had a good match for Farleigh Dickinson. Levy had 51 assists and Schmidt tallied 15 kills, four digs and two blocks.
Marist hit .311 as a team for the match. The team went 2 - 1 in the tournament, which was good for second place. Marist now fosters an overall record of 4-10.
Hanson and Kenworthy were named to the All-Tournament team for their play this weekend.
Princeton went undefeated throughout the tournament to take first place. FDU finished 1 - 2 to finish third and Providence was winless for a last place finish.
The Red Foxes return to action Wednesday Oct. 5 at Siena College for their first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) match. The scheduled start time is 7 p.m.
