Lasell Women's Volleyball Sweeps Suffolk in GNAC Action

2017 Oct 5

The Lasell women's volleyball team earned a 3-0 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) win against Suffolk University on Wednesday night inside Regan Gymnasium. The straight set league victory came by set scores, 27-25, 25-23 and 25-18.

The Lasers improve to 1-2 in the GNAC and 6-14 overall, while Suffolk falls to 8-7 and 3-3 against league opponents.

Suffolk led for the majority of the first frame, but a late push by Lasell put the visitors ahead by a set. Both teams battled back and forth in the second set, but the Lasers hung on for a 25-23 set win to gain a 2-0 edge in the match. It was all Lasell in the final frame as the visitors locked up the sweep with a 25-18 third set victory.

Olivia Addington (Orange, Calif.) set another Lasell record for the third time this season with her 20 kills over the three sets. The junior outside hitter set the record just five days ago, swinging into 18 vs. Skidmore, and hit .320% in tonight's victory. Mickayla Shelburn (Waterford, Conn.) was closest to Addington's total with seven kills and an ace for eight points.

The Lasers had a strong defensive front led by Caitlyn Garcia (Moreno Valley, Calif.) and Allie Jo Amos, who both recorded 14 digs apiece. Taylor Tiezzi (Meriden, Conn.) was on-pace with her season assists per set, and dished out 24 overall.
