Volleyball Falls In Straight Sets At Queens (N.Y.) College In ECC Action

Flushing, N.Y.-A week away from match play did not prove to be a good formula for the University of Bridgeport women's volleyball team, as the Purple Knights fell in straight sets to the host Queens (N.Y.) College Knights in New York City on a rainy Thursday night, 14-25, 23-25, 29-31.  UB is now 11-10 overall and 8-2 in East Coast Conference play.  With the win, Queens is now 7-17 overall and 3-8 in the ECC.

Freshman Claire Anderson (Oak Harbor, Wash.) led the Bridgeport offense with 11 kills, and she was joined in double-digit kills by senior Sara Cruz (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) with 10.

Sophomore setter Ellie Rich (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) had 25 assists on the night, and senior Amelie Guinci (Cannes, France) led the Purple Knights' defense with 16 digs.

Up next, the UB women's volleyball team will look to get back in the win column when they return to Hubbell Gym on Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. to face the Owls of Southern Connecticut State University in non-conference action.
