Volleyball Returns To Winning Ways By Sweeping Stony Brook, 3-0
10/15/2022 5:12:00 PM | Volleyball
NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware volleyball team returned to winning ways Saturday afternoon by sweeping Stony Brook (8-10, 3-6 CAA) in straight sets (25-17, 25-13, 25-22) inside Bob Carpenter Center. With the win, the Blue Hens stopped their two-match skid to move to 11-6 on the season and 7-2 in conference play.
The Blue Hens remembered who they were in the opening set, headlined by an 11-1 spurt capped by Hannah Wright's ace, 19-6. Stony Brook clawed their way back in, using an 11-5 run before Lily Rogers connected with Savannah Seemans to bury point 25 and give Delaware the set one win (25-17).
With the scoreboard reading 7-all, Lauryn Richardson nailed one down for Delaware to score nine unanswered points with Eileen Gex serving eight-straight (16-7). The Blue Hens saw its lead balloon to 12 points thanks to a 6-1 scoring run with Kirah Johnson putting herself at the forefront of the spurt, 22-10. The Seawolves attempted to stay in it after Leoni Kunz's kill but Lani Mason made sure that set two was in the hands of the Blue Hens by putting away Rogers' feed, 25-13.
Stony Brook turned things around in the third set and took the lead for the first time in the afternoon, 15-9. Delaware remained poised as Mason's timely kill ignited a much-needed 11-2 run, that was capped beautifully by Gex's first career kill for the Blue Hens to regain the lead for good, 20-17.
Mason led the way with 17 kills and 12 digs to post her eighth double-double of the season. Johnson followed with seven kills and five blocks. Rogers directed the Blue Hen offense with 25 kills and played her part on the defensive side with 11 digs and four blocks to register her fourth double-double of the season. Charged with anchoring the Blue Hen defense was Gex who scooped up 18 digs to go with seven assists while Seemans was alongside her with 13 digs.
Kunz paced Stony Brook with nine kills while Torri Henry dished out 23 assists. Julia Patsos chipped in 13 digs.
WHAT'S NEXT
Delaware will face Stony Brook again tomorrow (Oct. 15) at 2 p.m. inside Bob Carpenter Center. Promotions for the Stony Brook series: Sunday is Unity Day/Fan Appreciation/Greek Life.
