Oct. 9, 2007
SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg women's volleyball earned its sixth consecutive victory in PSAC Eastern Division play on Tuesday night in Heiges Field House, defeating Millersville University 3-1 by game scores of 30-20, 30-22, 27-30 and 30-24. The Lady Raiders remain atop the division standings by one game over Kutztown and two games over West Chester, both of which earned match victories Tuesday night.
Shippensburg (23-7, 6-0 PSAC East) was led in kills by sophomores
Colleen Toomey (Reading/Muhlenberg) and Kali Antolik
(Johnstown/Westmont-Hilltop),
who each totaled 14 kills apiece. Antolik, who earlier Tuesday earned her
second PSAC Eastern Division player of the week award of the season, has
now totaled 73 kills in her last six games.
After the score was tied at 10-10 in the first game, the Lady Raiders
went on a 15-10 run to lead 25-20. Following a timeout, the Lady Raiders
closed out the first game behind the serve of sophomore Missy
Ramp (York/Central York) by recording five straight points. Ramp finished
the game with a team-high three service aces.
Millersville (12-15, 2-4 PSAC East) also dropped game two to Shippensburg,
but never trailed in game three and gained momentum heading into the
fourth game. After the Marauders gained a 12-9 lead, Shippensburg tied
the score at 13-13, and closed out the fourth game 30-24 to win the
match in four.
In the previous meeting between these two teams on Sept. 11, the Lady
Raiders won in five games and received a triple-double from
junior Maureen DuVall (Poolesville, Md./Poolesville).
On Tuesday night, DuVall delivered a season-high 55 assists to go along
with eight digs,
two kills and one service ace, giving the junior a total of 102
assists her two matches against the Marauders
this season.
Defensively, junior Kelsi Hoffman (York/West York) led Shippensburg
with 15 digs, while Ramp added 11 and Toomey added eight. Sophomore Cindel
Young (McConnellsburg/Broadfoarding Christian) led the Lady Raiders with
two block solos and three block assists.
Shippensburg will look to tie the school record for victories in a
season when it hosts the University of the District of Columbia on
Friday night to begin the SU Regional Crossover at Heiges
Field House. The match will begin at 7 p.m.
