Volleyball Takes Down Wesleyan in Comeback Win

Rizzi Earns All-Tournament Honors with 20-Kill Performance

HUNTINGDON, Pa. - The York volleyball team closed out its stint at the Wid Guisler Invitational with a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over Wesleyan on Saturday. Megan Rizzi paced the Spartans with a career-high 20 kills and earned all-tournament team honors as York knocked off the Cardinals who were voted the 26th-best team in the nation in this week's poll.

Team Records
York 16-8
Wesleyan 14-5

How It Happened
  • The Spartans rebounded from an opening 25-13 opening set loss and edged Wesleyan, 25-23, in the second. York built a seven-point lead (13-6) to begin the second set following a string of Cardinal miscues. Wesleyan regained its footing and the two sides traded points until the set became tied, 23-23. Jennifer Taylor scored the go ahead kill and an attack error by Wesleyan sealed the set for York.
  • The Spartans broke open some breathing room in the third set when back-to-back service aces by Claire Shorb and a kill by Megan Rizzi gave York a 15-8 advantage. The Spartans continued to build on their lead and kills by Abby Diehl, Shorb and Tyler Williams down the stretch sealed the 25-14 victory in the third.
  • A 10-7 Spartan lead in the fourth set forced a Wesleyan timeout and out of the break, York went on to score eight of the next 10 points to move ahead, 18-9. Four different Spartans recorded kills down the stretch as York rode the momentum to a 25-18 victory in the fourth and complete the comeback win over nationally-touted Cardinals.

Up Next
The Spartans will be on the road on Tuesday as they close out their MAC Commonwealth slate against conference-leading Eastern.
