Volleyball defeat’s D’Youville College, 3-0
Box Score
Houghton, N.Y.
- The Houghton
Highlander Volleyball team took their 12th victory of the season
against the Lady Spartans of D’Youville College, 3-0 (30-11, 30-11, 30-15). The
Highlanders used the NCAA Div. III non-conference opponent to sharpen its skills
for the second half of the AMC North Division. The Highlanders are now 12-7 for
the season, 5-2 in AMC North Division conference play.
Today’s game allowed significant court time for the Highlander freshman to gain
some valuable experience especially with the AMC post season quickly
approaching.
Fr. Holly
Motheral (Paris,
Ontario)
highlighted with nine kills for the match and Fr.
Brianna Brubaker (Shippensburg, PA) had eight assist’s for the game.
The
Highlanders next game is home on October 14th against AMC North
Division opponent Point Park College at 7pm.

innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
