Women's Volleyball Starts Strong But Falls To Whitworth

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Nicole Kelly recorded a team-high nine kills, Jamie Bartok posted 13 digs but it wasn't enough as the Whitman College women's volleyball team fell in four sets to Whitworth in Northwest Conference action on Wednesday night at the Sherwood Center. Set scores were 21-25, 25-14, 25-20, 25-17.

Whitworth's Jay Hodge led all hitters with 13 kills and Madison Lee posted a match-high 17 digs.

The Blues (7-12, 5-6 NWC) got off to a great start with their opening set win. Whitman started hot as Christina Boxberger won three straight points off her serve beginning with Sydney London's block to build an early 8-3 lead. The Bucs worked themselves back into the set but Lilli Thompson's block capped a 4-0 run to put Whitman back up by four. Late in the set, though, Whitworth tied the score at 19-19 off an Abigail Hudson block but Whitman responded with another 4-0 run and held on for the win.

Whitworth (14-5, 8-3 NWC) responded with a comfortable set-two win to even the match. Hudson's kill quickly opened a 5-1 lead and a kill from Lee extended the lead to 9-3. The Blues rallied mid-set to tie the score at 11-11 but the Bucs pulled away with a 9-2 run to close the set.

Set three saw the Blues trail throughout but always remain in striking distance. Whitman trailed by five in the later stages but a block and a kill from Kenzie Martinez cut into the lead and made it a 20-18 score. The Bucs regained control and closed the set on the heels of a pair of Joelle Forbes kills.

Whitworth completed the four-set victory after pulling away from the Blues in set four.

Next up for the Blues is a road match on Friday, Oct. 21 at Willamette. First serve is set for 7:00 p.m.
