The Lady Cavs volleyball team defeated the Immaculata Mighty Macs 3-2 on Saturday, Oct. 5, giving them their first Pennsylvania Athletic Conference win.
Even though the Lady Cavs had defeated Immaculata in the past, the team knew it was going to be a tough game because the Mighty Macs had been giving the stronger PAC teams a bit of competition this season. Jennifer Scapellati, freshman, said, “It was an intense game, the team played well together and was focused.”
Immaculata’s Colleen Bowman, freshman, who nervously watched the unpredictable game, said, “Even when they were down they stuck together as a team in order to win the game.”
Head coach Tricia Arnold, who is coaching her first season, said, “They performed amazing, and I’m proud of the team for winning their first PAC game. It was the first match they had won in five games, which was a nice hurdle to overcome.”
Kristen Boone, freshman, said, “It is exciting to have our first PAC win.”
Kristin Johnson, junior, had a team-high 10 aces and nine kills for the Lady Cavs, and fellow junior, Teresa Holland handed out 12 assists, two kills and four digs. Amanda White, freshman, had 12 kills and Katie Kapovic, freshman, had 10 kills.Arnold said, “Johnson served us back into the game.”
Krista Michalowski, junior, a fan of the Lady Cavs, said, “Teresa Holland played a great game both defensively and offensively, she kept the team spirit up.”
It was the Lady Cavs second home game and their record is now 5-10 on the season and 1-4 in the PAC. They play their next game, at home on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. against Centenary College of New Jersey and on Saturday, Oct. 12 the Lady Cavs will travel to Marywood University to in Scranton, Pa. for a PAC play.
