YORK, PA - The York College volleyball team picked up their
sixth Capital Athletic Conference win of the season on Tuesday
evening with a 3-1 victory over the visiting St. Mary's
Seahawks (30-24, 23-30, 36-34, 30-27). The Spartans improve
to 28-5 on the year with a 6-2 CAC record. St. Mary's
falls to 24-6 and 6-2 in conference play.
The Spartans came out an inspired group notching the 30-24 game
one win. Lindsay Schorner (Spring Grove, Pa./Spring
Grove) put the Seahawks on their heels early tallying
several kills in the game including a pair of rockets.
In the second game, St. Mary's recorded five of the first
seven points taking the wind out of the Spartan's
sails. Grabbing an 8-7 lead, the Seahawks never looked back
and won the second frame 30-23.
By far the best game of the night came in the third
stanza. Finding themselves down 18-13, the Spartans battled
back eventually taking at 29-27 lead but unfortunately could not
close out St. Mary's in regulation and the game went to extra
points. Up 35-34, York libero Laura Krajewski
(Livonia, Mich./Stevenson) made an incredible sprawling
dig that led to a Jaclyn Davis (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry
Hill East) kill for the game victory.
Facing a deflated St. Mary's squad in the fourth game, the
Spartans forced the Seahawks into a pair of time-outs during the
frame as all the momentum belonged to the green and white.
Alishia Waltermyer (Brogue, Pa./Red Lion) finished
off the match for the Spartans as the freshman tallied her 13th
kill of the evening. Waltermyer's kills gave the
Spartan's the 30-27 game victory and the 3-1 match win.
Schorner led the green and white with 22 kills while Waltermyer
notched 13 kills and three block assists. Davis played
extremely well for the home squad garnering ten kills in just two
games including the crucial score in the match's third
frame. Katie Hertz (Glenville, Pa./Delone
Catholic) continued her strong 2007 production as she
registered 55 assists to go along with 14 digs.
Krajewski played one of her better matches of the season
recording 31 digs. The senior also gave the visitors fits on
her serve, garnering three service aces and causing numerous
Seahawk errors.
For St. Mary's, Katie Ewing led the attack with eleven
kills while also contributing a pair of block solos and a trio of
block assists. Claire Kodan and Sarah Gregorini each recorded
double-digit kills with ten apiece. Jenn Feldmann and Megan
Graydon shared the setting responsibilities handing out 24 and 22
assists respectively. Defensively, Becca Tursell was a force
at the net turning away numerous Spartan attempts en route to five
block solos and seven block assists. Jackie Reid added 15
digs and Katie Obal kept 14 attempts off the floor for the
Seahawks.
The Spartans ninth straight win ensures the green and white with
at least the third seed in the upcoming CAC tournament.
Closing out the regular season at home, the Spartans take to the
court on Saturday as they host former conference foe Catholic in a
2:00 pm showdown.
