Eagles Split With Simmons, Norwich

The Daniel Webster volleyball squad split a GNAC tri-match with Simmons and Norwich this afternoon at Vagge Gymnasium.

Just four days after staging an impressive comeback over Pine Manor after trailing 2-1, it was Simmons who left the sour taste of a comeback in the Eagles mouths, rallying from a 2-1 deficit to win 3-2 in the day's opener.

Erin Moseley (Sterling, Mass.) notched 18 kills and 11 blocks, while Amy Ingvertsen (Cornwall, Conn.) added 16 digs and four aces and Kayleigh Brown (Belmont, N.H.) dished out 18 assists.

The loss was particularly hard to take as the teams went neck and neck over the final two games with the Sharks winning 31-29 in the fourth and 17-15 in the fifth.

The Eagles (3-3, 2-1 GNAC) rallied in the nightcap, however, scoring a 3-1 win (30-20, 27-30, 30-24, 30-17) over the Cadets. Moseley and Brianna Johnson (Nashua, N.H.) led the way with 13 kills each, while Brown handed out 25 assists. Jessica Carter (Martinsburg, W.V.) added 10 digs, while Ashley Boyd (Hanson, Mass.) notched 10 blocks.

In the other tri-match meeting, Simmons downed Norwich, 3-0.

The Eagles are off until Wednesday when they travel to Manchester, N.H. to face Hesser Junior College in a non-NCAA match up. The Eagles return to regional play Saturday when they travel to Western New England for a GNAC tri-match with Albertus Magnus.
