VOLLEYBALL RALLIES TO DEFEAT HARFORD
September 16, 2008 - After being
stunned in the first game, the 16th ranked CSM volleyball team rallied to
defeat Harford three games to one. Chantal Hebron and Tannee' Holly
came up strong for the Hawks in the decisive fourth game, as Hebron had five
kills, and Holly had two kills and three blocks.
With the score tied 3-3 in the first game,
Harford (2-6, 0-3) went on a 5-0 run behind Kelsey Sullivan's serve.
The Hawks slowly chipped away at the lead, and tied the score at 16-16 on
Tanee' Holly's ace, only to see Harford run off three straight points to
take a 20-17 lead on an ace by Selena Ortega-Marvel. CSM (14-4, 3-0)
rallied once again, and tied the score at 21-21 after the Owls hit the ball
long, but Harford was able to retake the lead once again and win the first
game 25-23.
CSM jumped in front 5-0 in the second game
behind Kelsey Loss' serve. Loss had an ace, and Liberty McLean and
Chantal Hebron both had kills during the run. The Hawks maintained a
comfortable lead on the way to a 25-15 win.
In the third game Gigi Gilmore came off the
bench to provide a spark for the Hawks, as CSM again jumped to an early
lead. Katlin "Bubba" Gardiner's kill gave the Hawks a 19-7 lead, and
CSM went on to capture the third game 25-15.
The Hawks took charge once again in the
fourth game, outscoring the Owls 14-3 to start the game. Tanee' Holly
and Ashley Wolfe combined for a block for the Hawks 14th point, and after
Harford scored after a CSM mishit, the Hawks scored three of the next four
points to put the game out of reach as they won 25-17.
The Hawks will travel to Florida this weekend
for the Pasco-Hernando Tournament, before returning home to face Anne
Arundel on September 24 (6:00 PM). |
