Volleyball gets season started
The Providence College Women's Volleyball team got off to a rough start this year as it has dropped the last four of the team's preseason matches bringing their record down from 2-3 to 2-7. Things began looking up for the Friars, however, when they recorded a 3-2 win over Holy Cross to up their record to 3-7.
Starting off the Friars' downward spiral, PC traveled to Annapolis Maryland for a Sept. 8 face-off against the United States Naval Academy and Youngstown State. The Friars would lose both matches three games to none.
In the effort, Providence was led by underclassmen as sophomore Jeanette Toney, who tallied 10 kills versus USNA, while sophomore Sara Sheehan would lend a hand giving the Friars 20 assists. As the Youngstown State game got underway, once again Sheehan would lead the team in assists; this time Sheehan would post 30 while junior Sarah Fleming stepped up to record 10 kills in the Friar effort.
Unfortunately for the Friars, the pain did not stop there. The results were similar the following day. Continuing their travels in Maryland, the Friars landed in Loyola to confront both La Salle and Kennesaw State. While the match versus La Salle was closer than the others, PC fell three games to two. Kennesaw State, on the other hand, ended with little incidence and the Friars dropped the match 3-0. Once again Toney and Fleming helped lead the Lady Friars. Toney was attributed with 23 kills over the two matches while Fleming posted 20.
PC played its home opener last night, Sept. 13, where they hosted Holy Cross at 7:00 pm. The Friars were hopeful to put an end to their losing streak and came out strong against the Crusaders. As a result, they were able to overcome their opposition and notch the first win of the season bringing their record on the season to 1-0.
Cross Country hits its stride
Both the Providence College Mens' and Womens' Cross Country team hit the ground running Sept. 2 with their dual meet victory over the University of New Hampshire.
