The Loyola Greyhounds out-raced the Red Foxes in a five-game women's volleyball thriller on Sunday at Loyola on its parents' weekend.
After the Red Foxes jumped out to a 2-0 lead, the Greyhounds rallied to win the final three games to take the match. The match contained 32 ties and 15 lead changes.
The final score favored Loyola, 28-30, 25-30, 30-28, 30-28, 16-14.
Sally Hanson and Jaime Kenworthy, who had a match-high 27 kills and 14 kills, respectively, both paced Marist during the contest. Hanson also hit an impressive .553 on the match. Junior Christy Lukes added 10 kills in the losing effort.
The pair of senior captains are now ranked first and second on the Foxes all-time kills list. Kenworthy has 997 kills on her career while Hanson is second with 976.
Marist volleyball head coach, Tom Hanna, said the milestone is great for both players.
"It's a great milestone for both of them to be so highly regarded in program history," he said. "Both players will go over 1,000 kills. That speaks highly to their contributions to the program."
Freshman setter, Dawn Jan, had 62 assists during the five-game match.
Defensively, the Foxes had a strong effort from four players including senior tri-captain Kim McEathron, Jan, sophomore Kelsey Schaffer and Kenworthy. The quartet all had double-digit digs. McEathron led with 24 digs while Jan and Schaffer followed with 14 and Kenworthy added 12.
Loyola proved to be too strong; they had four players who tallied double-digit kills to match the Foxes offensive output.
Marist is on a two-match losing streak and its Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) record fell to 2-4. Loyola improved to 3-3 in the conference. The Greyhounds are in a three-way tie for fourth place.
The Foxes return to action this weekend when they take to the road to face the fourth place Rider Broncs for a MAAC match-up on Saturday, Oct. 7. The match is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.
Hanna said every MAAC match gives the team two oppurtunites.
"Every MAAC match does two things," he said "It gives us a chance to improve our seeding for the conference tournament time, and it gives us an opportunity to perform at a higher level consistently against an outside opponent."
