Tritons Fall in Five Sets at Lynn in Road Finale

BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Eckerd volleyball team lost a late lead in its final road match of the season on Saturday, falling at Lynn University in five sets.

HOW IT ENDED
Final: Lynn 3, Eckerd 2 (23-25, 28-26, 16-25, 25-21, 13-15)
Records: Eckerd 12-14 (4-12 SSC); Lynn 13-12 (6-9 SSC)

KEY MOMENTS
  • Lynn jumped ahead early in the first set and maintained the lead until the Tritons won four straight points for a 21-21 tie.  However, a service error got a vital side-out for the Fighting Knights, and a combination block followed to put Lynn back up by two.  Eckerd managed to fend off set point on a Sarah Johnshoy kill but Lynn's Sonja Udovcic put away a kill to prevent the set from going into extra points.
  • An early four-point run set the tone for Eckerd in the second set as the Tritons led by as many as six points and as late as 20-14.  Lynn, however, won the next five points to pull within one and eventually tied the score at 24-24 after a pair of Eckerd errors extended the set.  The Fighting Knights later reached set point at 26-25, but the Tritons rallied with two kills from Abbie O'Ferrell on both sides of a Rachel Wisian kill to even the match at one set each.
  • Eckerd held an 8-6 lead in the third set, only to see Lynn win eight points in a nine-rally stretch to a 17-11 edge.  After an Eckerd side-out, the Fighting Knights won five straight points and went on to a 25-16 win for a 2-1 lead.
  • A tightly-contested fourth set saw 15 ties and 11 lead changes in the first 34 rallies as the two teams sat knotted at 17-17.  The Tritons won the next four points on kills by O'Ferrell, Wisian, and Asya Harris, along with an O'Ferrell ace.  Lynn got back within two but could not close the gap further, and Eckerd forced the decisive fifth set.
  • The Tritons overcame an early deficit and held an 11-8 lead in the final set.  However, a Lynn timeout killed EC's momentum.  A service error led to a string of four straight points for the Fighting Knights.  Eckerd briefly reclaimed the lead on back-to-back Johnshoy kills, but Lynn took the next three points to win the match.
NOTES AND NUMBERS
  • Johnshoy had an outstanding match with a career-high 16 kills while hitting a match-high .364.  Wisian also posted career-highs in both kills (13) and blocks (7).
  • O'Ferrell ended the match with 15 kills and 12 digs for her seventh double-double of the season.  It was the fourth double-double in her last seven matches.
  • Arielle Erillo had 19 digs as she moved into eighth in the program's single-season records with 453.
  • Lauren Kadilis had a career-best 53 assists while recording her fifth double-double with 13 digs.
