The women’s Cabrini volleyball team had a very successful weekend. The women returned back home with a pair of victories at the Moravian Tri Match. They defeated Bryn Mawr with a score of 3-0 before earning a 3-1 win over the host, the Moravian Greyhounds. These non-conference wins pulled the Cavs 9-5 onto a great start for their season.
Junior Cassidy Koenig helped set up Amy Guarino for her 10 kills against Bryn Mawr by having 31 assists.
Her younger sister, sophomore Kelly Guarino, paired a match high with 11 digs and two service aces. Along with other help from the team, the girls took over Moravian’s home court. Kelly Guarino was excited for the win and was very optimistic after the match.
“This was a major win for our team because Moravian is known to be a great team, I am really happy for my girls and hope this will give us a great start for the next game against Moravian.”
With the girls having momentum with winning their first match, they also had a great victory against Moravian. They were dominant, only losing the second match. The ending score after the four matches were 25-20, 19-25, 25-16, 25-20. Cassidy Koenig evenly distributed the ball across the net with a high 52 assists in the match.
Amy Guarino contributed 19 kills and 11 digs, freshman Anne Marie Jones with 16 kills and 14 digs, junior Jen Grenauer added 9 kills, Christine Ingargiola totaled eight kills and Kelly Guarino tallied a career high 30 digs.
Koenig was eager to bounce back and make the needed adjustments after losing the second set of the match.
“After losing the second match, we knew as a team we had to pick up our tempo and pull together as one. We needed to communicate more, and we did. Communication is the key in volleyball.”
The Cavs hope to continue their success into their first conference match of the season against Gwyned Mercy University on Sept. 25. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
