Box Score
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Led by six kills from senior middle blocker Kittery Neale and hitting .388 as a team, the Davidson volleyball team defeated St. Francis of New York, 3-0, (25-11, 25-14, 25-11) Friday afternoon, opening play at the University of Buffalo Classic.
Neale had six kills on just 11 swings, hitting .545 (6-0-11) in the match. Sophomore Sarabeth Peele, sophomore Jorden Benedict, and freshmen Madison Benedict and Ally Miller each contributed five kills to the balanced Wildcat offense.
With the win, Davidson improves to 4-6. St. Francis got six kills from Detelina Dimitrova, but falls to 0-14.
Davidson won the first point of the first set and never trailed, rolling to a 25-14 win. The Terriers stayed close early, but with the 'Cats holding a slight 5-4 lead, sophomore libero Jennifer Chamblee served four straight points, including a pair of kills from classmate Jorden Benedict, to take a 9-4 lead. Behind strong play from freshman Jessica McAlvany, Peele and Neale, the 'Cats took a commanding 19-9 lead and controlled the set the rest of the way.
The Wildcats wasted little time in the second set, opening an 8-1 lead behind a pair of putaways from Peele and Madison Benedict. A 6-1 run pushed that lead to an imposing 15-2, and a Terrier service error gave the 'Cats a 25-11 win in the second set and a 2-0 lead in the match.
In the final set of the match, the 'Cats struggled out of the gates, falling behind, 5-1, but a four-point serve from freshman Christine Perzinski put Davidson within one, and a St. Francis service error knotted the score at 7-7. Senior Tierney Hodge rattled off five points, including four straight Terrier hitting errors, to give her team a 13-7 lead. Davidson used a 9-4 run to open up a 21-11 lead and a kill from senior Lindsay Paroczai put the match away, with the 25-14 win.
Davidson will finish the tournament with a pair of matches tomorrow, taking on High Point at 1 p.m. and host University of Buffalo at 7 p.m.
