Volleyball Falls to Saxons in Three on the Road

ALFRED, N.Y. – The Hawks dropped their first Empire 8 contest on Friday night 3-0 despite matching the Saxons point-for-point in the first two sets.
 
THE BASICS
 
  • Final Score:  Hartwick 0, Alfred 3 (23-25, 23-25, 14-25)
  • Location:  Alfred, N.Y.
  • Records:  Hartwick (6-7 Overall, 2-1 Empire 8), Alfred (11-8 Overall, 1-1 Empire 8)
 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
 
  • The Hawks and the Saxons played a tight first set with the Hawks playing from behind early.
  • However, Hartwick rebounded several times throughout the set, finding ways to tie the score just as Alfred looked to pull away.
  • Knotted at 23-23, the Saxons took a timeout and immediately put up the two points needed to take the 25-23 win.
  • Despite an early lead by the Hawks in the second set, the Saxons rallied back in the middle of the set, creating another back-and-forth end to the set.
  • Alfred would end up taking the 25-23 win with another late set push.
  • Down two sets to none, the Hawks once again took an early lead in the third set.
  • After tying the score up at 5-5, Alfred went on to score eight straight before Hartwick could get back on the board again.
  • The Hawks picked up a handful of side-outs, but were unable to push points on the serve, allowing the Saxons to continue to expand their lead, eventually taking the final set 25-14.
  • Hartwick received a double-digit kill performance from Staecia Silofau (Kapolei, Hawaii) with 13.  The junior also picked up three aces.
  • Defensively, Shaelyn Thornton (Scarborough, Me.) led the Hawks with 13 digs.
 
UP NEXT FOR THE HAWKS
