Women's Volleyball Wins UAA Regular-Season Finale

Violets Defeat Brandeis, Fall to Emory

The New York University women's volleyball team wrapped up its University Athletic Association (UAA) regular season with a victory on Sunday, October 15, in Chicago, IL. The win came against Brandeis University and followed up a loss to Emory University at UAA Round Robin #2, hosted by the University of Chicago.

After dropping its first match of the day in three sets to #4 Emory, the Violets battled back to defeat Brandeis in three sets. The victory was NYU's fifth this season and its first against a UAA opponent.

Emory (19-4, 4-2 UAA) attacked at a .520 clip in the opening set to race past the Violets 25-13. NYU put up a better fight in the second and third sets, but ultimately fell 25-21 and 25-17 in those frames. Nazzerine Waldon, a Georgia native, recorded a career-high and team-best 10 kills against the opponent from her home state. 

The Violets returned to the court minutes after the loss to the Eagles and were able to defeat Brandeis (10-10, 0-7 UAA) 25-22, 25-20, 26-24.

"We played as a unit against Brandeis," said NYU Head Coach Jolie Ward. "We stayed consistent and steady, which kept us in strong positions during the entire match."

NYU attacked at a .216 percentage and held the Judges to just .123 in the three-set win. The Violets scored the final three points of the match to clinch the win, with the final point coming on a kill from Rayne Ellis.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Caroline Rapp (12) and Ellis (10) each recorded double-digit kills in the win against the Judges. Waldon also had a strong game at the net with nine kills.

- Zel Fortson collected 19 assists vs. the Judges.

" We got a strong performance from Rapp and Fortson today," added Ward.

- Jacqueline Kupeli led the squad in digs in both matches. The rookie tallied 14 against Brandeis and 13 vs. Emory.

NYU returns to action on Thursday, October 19, when it hosts Montclair State University at the Brooklyn Athletic Facility. First serve is slated for 7pm and the Violets' two seniors, Ellis and Grace Napolitano, will be honored before the match for Senior Night.
