Diplomats remain perfect in CC play with 3-0 win at
McDaniel
WESTMINSTER, Md. - Kerry Rom recorded a
double-double with 10 kills and 11 digs to lead Franklin &
Marshall to a 3-0 victory over McDaniel in Centennial Conference
(CC) volleyball action on Wednesday.
The Diplomats (10-2, 3-0 CC) registered 15 service aces en route
to their ninth sweep of the season.
Lanni Reisinger (Lemoyne, Pa/Cedar Cliff) paced
the Green Terror (7-5, 1-1 CC) with eight digs, six kills and all
three of the squad's service aces. Taylor Herrgott
(Derwood, Md./Magruder) led the attack with 10 kills to go
with nine digs while Anne McShea (Frederick, Md./Gov.
Thomas Johnson) added six kills and eight digs.
Franklin & Marshall built an 18-13 lead in the first set
before Reisinger served the Green Terror back into the set.
After a Reisinger kill, she notched two of her three aces to
draw her team even and a Diplomat attack error gave the hosts a
19-18 lead but the visitors notched seven of the final nine points
to take the opening set, 25-21.
The second set was nearly a carbon copy with Franklin &
Marshall building a 17-13 lead before a Kristen Nuckles
(Suffolk, Va./Nansemond-Suffolk Academy) kill, a Reisinger
ace and two Diplomat errors knotted the set at 17.
Keyed by four McDaniel errors, Franklin & Marshal reeled off
the final eight points of the match out of a timeout to win, 25-17.
Even at 7-all in the third set, kills from Sydney
Seydel and Kerry Rom around a
Katy May ace gave the Diplomats a 13-10 lead that
they never relinquished en route to a 25-18 victory.
Nuckles recorded 16 assists for the Green Terror while
Katie Ferguson (Dover, Pa./Northern York) matched
Herrgott for team-high honors on the defensive side with nine digs.
Pam Horner and Candice Tussing
notched five aces apiece for Franklin & Marshall. Horner added
22 assists and 10 digs.
The Green Terror returns to action at the Spartan Best Western
