Tourney and more for Volleyball team
The Providence College Volleyball Team posted a 1-3 record at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Tournament this weekend.
Providence opened its weekend series against St. Francis, to which they lost all three games. In the first match, Providence came out strong, taking an 8-3 lead over Terriers-but St. Francis was able to ultimately come back and defeat the Friars 23-30.
The next two games, however, would be much closer for the Friars, as they fell 30-26 in the second match, and lost only 32-20 in the final match. Sophomore Jeanette Toney led the Friars with 12 kills, scoring 14 of the Friars 46 points.
Next, the Friars would take on Wagner, which they would defeat three games to two. Wagner was able to beat PC in the first two matches, both times by a score of 30-27. But Providence would bounce back and win the next three matches by scores of 30-18, 30-26, and 15-10. Toney had another impressive game for the Friars, leading them in kills with 24 and points with 28.5.
On Saturday, the Friars would be swept by both Farleigh Dickinson and Maryland Eastern Shore, dropping their record to 7-11 for the season.
Providence would loose the first match against Fairleigh 30-18, and the next two matches by identical scores of 30-22. Sophomore Aida Cadres led the Friars with 13 kills.
In their final match in their weekend series, Providence fell to the hosts by scores of 30-25, 30-27, and 30-13. Once again, the Friars were led by another strong effort from Toney, who would lead the team with 11 kills and 13 points.
On Wednesday, the team dropped their home match against the University of Rhode Island (5-14) 3-0. They are now 7-13 on the season. Toney again led the Friars with 12 kills and Cadres had 10.
This week, Toney was named the Division I Independent Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week after compiling 52 kills and 11 blocks in four matches last weekend. Sophomore Sara Sheehan had 36 assists.
The volleyball team will resume play on Wednesday, Oct. 11, when it travels to Quinnipiac.
