Greyhounds Grab 3-1 Northeast-10 Victory over Volleyball

Springfield, Mass - Charisse Trotman (Bristol, Conn.) led the Yellow Jackets with 11 kills but the visiting Greyhounds of Assumption College downed the women's volleyball team 3-1 (30-26, 26-30, 32-30, 30-18) Tuesday evening in a Northeast-10 match-up in the Butova Gymnasium.

All of the matches were competitive except for the fourth and final set when AIC suffered from a let down after dropping a close 32-30 decision in the third frame. The Jackets rallied back after being down by as much as five points to tie the score at 30 before losing two points and the set. 

For the Greyhounds, freshman Aimee Drainville (Rockville, RI) pounded home a game-high 12 finishers and senior Lauren Rasqyck (Litchfield, NH) earned a game-high 27 digs while freshman Marilisa Strand led the team with 47 assists.

The win propels the Greyhounds to 13-9 overall and 6-6 in the Northeast-10 while the loss drops the Yellow Jackets to 6-8 overall and 3-7 in the Northeast-10.

Sophomore Katie Wilkinson (Silverdale, Was.) had nine kills while sophomore Jennifer Hormann (Forest Grove, Ore.) totaled 26 digs in the losing effort for the Yellow Jackets.

AIC will head on the road to take on Bentley this Thursday at 7:30 pm.
