9/18/2007 4:00:00 AM | Volleyball
The College of Charleston opened conference action with a 3-0 victory (30-25, 30-12, 30-19) over cross-town rival The Citadel Tuesday at the McAlister Fieldhouse in Charleston, S.C. The win marked the 17th straight victory over the Bulldogs.
“It feels good to be 1-0 in the conference. It took us awhile to start playing consistently. I thought that games two and three we played at a very high level. We will need to continue to play at that level this weekend against two more conference opponents.”
Leading the Cougars offensively was Emily Sawin who had 15 kills out of an attempted 18 for a .789 attack percentage. Sawin also had 18 digs to record a double-double. Senior Annie Uthe had 11 kills (.444) with Tiffany Blum and Whitney Russell adding 10 a piece. Deanna Patrick was also nine for 16 for a .500 attack percentage. Setter Lindsey Kane tallied 49 assists. Four Charleston players had service aces
Defensively, Sawin led the team with 18 digs. Freshman Cole Dawley added an additional 10, with Lindsey Kane and Paige Johnson recording seven a piece. Tiffany Blum had a team leading four assisted blocks while Whitney Russell and Lindsey Kane had two assisted blocks.
For the Bulldogs, Rachel Sanders led the team in kills with 12. Setter Emily Hill had 25 assists, six digs, and two assisted blocks. Jessica Maas led the team in blocks with three assisted blocks in addition to her six kills.
Charleston returns to the John Kresse Arena Saturday when they take on UNC Greensboro at 2:00. They will also face Elon Sunday.
