Highlander win streak snapped by
Geneva, 3-2
Box
Score
Houghton, N.Y. –
The Highlanders looked to keep their win
streak alive versus American Mideast Conference rival Geneva College of Beaver
Falls, PA. The Highlanders unfortunately came up short despite playing solid
defense against the Golden Tornadoes. The Golden Tornadoes won the match 3-2
with the game sets as follows 30-25, 28-30, 30-27, 21-30, 11-15.
The
Highlanders were led defensively by Jr. Stefanie
Swanson (Houghton, N.Y) registering
22 digs in the match. Sr.
Robin Frost (Wheaton, IL) contributed in the Highlanders effort with
18 kills while Sr. Elizabeth Gardner (New
Castle, PA) led the team with a perfect 49 out of 49 executed sets for the
match.
One twist to
the match was that there was a sibling rivalry between the Highlanders and
Golden Tornadoes. Highlander Sr. Audrey Seldomridge
(Landisville, PA) faced off against her sister Golden Tornado Allison
Seldomridge.
The Highlanders look to improve their
overall record as they travel to AMC rival Notre Dame College of South Euclid,
Ohio next Saturday with the match starting at 1:00PM.
