The New York University women's volleyball team took on the University of Chicago and Washington University of St. Louis on the first day of University Athletic Association (UAA) competition, hosted by Emory University, on Saturday, October 4, in Atlanta, GA.
 
NYU faced two strong teams on day one of UAA Round Robin #1.

In the first match, the Violets faced the Chicago, losing the match 3-1 (26-24, 25-16, 21-25, 25-21).

In its next match, NYU suffered another defeat, this time against Washington, 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-17). 
 
"We had really good moments when systems were working," NYU Head Coach Jolie Ward said. "We were doing what we were supposed to do, but the problem is we weren't doing it at the very end. We had very solid performances by our middle attack and I am feeling better about our blocking."

University of Chicago Highlights:

- Gigi Morally lead the attack with 12 kills

- Emily Moore notched 23 assists for the Violets
 
- MaTia Hughes had 19 digs 

Washington University Highlights:

- Nicole Frias hit seven kills for the team

- Ashley Toth set 14 assists in during the match

- Josie Luck tied her season high with 17 digs

The Violets will return to Emory tomorrow to face Brandeis University tomorrow at 10:00 am on the second day of UAA competition.
