Women's Volleyball Competes at York-Spartan Invitational

Violets Split Pair; Now 3-2 this Season

The New York University women's volleyball team completed its first two matches of the York-Spartan Invitational on Friday, September 7, in York, PA. The Violets swept Gallaudet University in the first match (25-10, 25-16, 25-22) before dropping a 3-0 decision (25-22, 25-19, 25-23) to Elizabethtown College. 

The Violets (3-2) got off to a strong start in the opener against Gallaudet, though the Bison (2-5) did get stronger as the match continued. 

Kate Glavan and Nazzerine Waldon each led NYU with a team-high seven kills. A pair of Violets finished with double-digit digs: Jacqueline Kupeli (18) and Waldon (14) 

In the second match, the Violets got off to a good start by scoring the first three points of the opening game. They still led 21-19 following a kill by Glavan, but were outscored 6-1 the rest of the way.

The second game started out in reverse fashion as Elizabethtown (1-5) scored the first three points. They went on to a 10-1 lead and the Violets never got closer than four the rest of the way.

NYU again raced out to a 3-0 lead in the final game and then went ahead 6-1. However, the Violets were caught at 10-10, fell behind, but then managed to grab a late 20-18 lead. The Blue Jays then scored the next five points. The Violets rallied to tie at 23-23 on a kill by Gretchen Kincade, but two consecutive points by Elizabethtown clinched its victory.  

Waldon again had seven kills, while Sabrina Krebs had six. Daryl Mitchell (15) and Stella Alverson (13) each had double-digit assists, while Waldon led the way with 10 digs.

"Our middles worked hard all night and did a good job allowing us to be effective offensively. Also, our serving strength was really strong," said Head Coach Andrew Brown. "The more reps we get against good teams will help us continue to build strength with our brand of volleyball as we get closer to conference play."

The Violets will return to action on Saturday when they close out the York-Spartan Invitational with matches against Haverford College at 10:00am and Johns Hopkins University at 12:00pm.
