Tritons Break Skid With Dominant Win Over Rollins

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Eckerd volleyball team snapped a four-match skid in dominant fashion on Thursday in the McArthur, sweeping Rollins for the second time this season.

The Tritons rallied from a six-point deficit in the first set and dominated the rest of the way.

HOW IT ENDED
Final: Eckerd 3, Rollins 0 (25-18, 25-7, 25-17)
Records: Eckerd 9-10 (4-8 SSC), Rollins 3-17 (1-12 SSC)

KEY MOMENTS
  • Eckerd jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the first set but attack errors began to cause issues.  Rollins took advantage of the miscues, using them to help build a 15-9 lead after winning nine points in 10 rallies.  A dump kill by Lauren Kadilis got a side-out for Eckerd and began swinging momentum. EC won three straight points and then, after the Tars got two kills, the Tritons rolled off six straight points for an 18-17 lead. Eckerd remained in control for the rest of the set, winning the final seven points.
  • Rollins grabbed an early 3-1 lead in the second set, but it didn't last long.  The Tritons used a five-point run and a 10-point run to build an insurmountable advantage.  Eckerd then won the last six points for a 25-7 set win.
  • The Tritons took six straight points early in set three behind the service of Sarah Johnshoy for a 7-4 lead.  That lead continued to grow thanks to an eight-point run that pushed the lead to 17-7. Rollins managed to get back within four points but EC soon shut down hopes of a comeback by taking points on five straight rallies.  Abbie O'Ferrell and Payton Meader finished off the Tars with kills for Eckerd's final points for the sweep.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • Eckerd's 25-7 win in set two was its largest margin of victory in a set this season, topping a 25-9 win over Missouri-St. Louis on August 25.
  • O'Ferrell led Eckerd with 14 kills while Paula Hoffmann had nine.  Kadilis posted a double-double with 26 assists and 14 digs.
  • Eckerd limited Rollins to a -.040 hitting percentage, the worst by a Triton opponent this season.
  • Arielle Erillo had 13 digs, leaving her seven short of 1000 for her career.
