DEARBORN, Mich. (8-27-2011) - The Mount
Vernon Nazarene University women's
volleyball team dropped a pair of matches on
Saturday at the University of
Michigan-Dearborn Early Bird Invitational as
the Lady Cougars fell 25-21, 25-11, 26-24 to
Roberts Wesleyan (N.Y.) College and 25-18,
25-18, 25-9 to Madonna (Mich.) University.
In the match against the Lady Raiders
(1-2), sophomore middle hitter Kendra Votaw
led MVNU (4-4) with 12 kills, while junior
middle hitter Gina Porto smashed seven
kills. Junior right-side hitter Kaylee
Hewitt and junior outside hitter Paige
Hagans registered 10 and six digs
respectively, and junior setter Lauren
Percival handed out 22 assists.
In
the match against Madonna (4-0), the Lady
Crusaders, who received votes in the NAIA
preseason poll, proved to be just too much
for the Lady Cougars. Junior middle hitter
Haley Nofziger and freshman right-side
hitter Molly Gerber paced the team with five
and three kills respectively, and Percival
handed out 13 assists. Votaw and Hewitt had
seven and six digs respectively, while Porto
and junior outside hitter Erika Votaw each
served up an ace with Porto also finishing
with three kills.
"This weekend was a
learning experience for us," said MVNU coach
Paul Swanson. "We are getting better, but we
need to keep working to make fewer
mistakes."
The Lady Cougars will
return to action on Thursday when they will
host Lake Erie College at 7 p.m. in
non-conference action that will be the first
of 12 regular-season home dates for the team
this year in the Physical Education Center.
