Women's Volleyball Upended At Whitworth

SPOKANE, Wash. - Nicole Kelly recorded a team-high 11 kills, Christina Boxberger added 10 more but it came in defeat as the Whitman College women's volleyball team was swept at Whitworth in Northwest Conference action, Wednesday night at Whitworth Fieldhouse. Set scores were 25-18, 25-11, 26-24.

Jamie Bartok equaled a match-high 12 digs, sharing such honors with Madison Lee who also drilled a match-high 12 kills for the double double. Whitworth (8-3, 2-1 NWC) displayed the more efficient offense, hitting .370 with the Blues (3-8, 1-2 NWC) not even reaching the Mendoza line.

The opening set saw Whitman up early and holding a one-point lead after a Martiniez kill. The Pirates responded as Abigail Hudson got in on a pair of blocks and later drilled a kill to help her team to a 16-13 lead. Back-to-back Kelly kills made it a one-point game, but the Bucs pulled away. Ella Jimenez contributed a block and a kill as part of a 4-0 set-closing run.

Whitworth won the second set convincingly, but completing the sweep was no easy task. The Bucs got off to a hot start by winning seven of the set's first eight points. Boxberger got the Blues going though and drilled a kill and got in on a block as part of a 6-0 run that gave Whitman the lead.

The Blues were either tied or held the lead until late in the set, even going up by two off a Kelly kill to make a 20-18 score. Whitworth scored two quick points to tie the set but Teia Magaoay's kill gave her team the lead right back. Down the stretch though, it was Whitworth who would get the key points and edge the Blues in extra points.

The Blues will enjoy home cooking for the first time in the regular season when they welcome Williamette to the Sherwood Center on Friday, Sept. 23. First serve is set for 7:00 p.m.
