The Providence offense played as well as if not better than Farleigh Dickinson, particularly in the first and third matches, but was unable to notch a win. The offense was led by freshman outside hitter Chelsey Thompson with three kills, three digs, and two service aces.
Senior middle blocker Jeanette Toney also had a good showing in her second consecutive double-double, recording 12 kills and 11 digs. Toney presently has 159 kills and 73 digs on the season. She is second on the team in kills and first in blocks.
The defense was led by senior libero Kelly Krahenbuhl, whose efforts secured her fifth consecutive game with double digit totals. Krahenbuhl has a team-leading 3.57 digs per game.
The Friars return to action in Chicago, Ill. at the Cougar Invitational on Friday, Oct. 3, and Saturday, Oct. 4. Providence will square off against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Quinnipiac, and Chicago State. This will be the Friars' final tournament appearance of the regular season. The Friars will look to move above .500 on the season.
