Freshmen Battle But Fall in Twinbill in Carolina Classic<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. \u2013<\/strong> The UAlbany volleyball team fell in a pair of matches to George Washington (16-25, 23-25, 17-25) and #18 North Carolina (13-25, 10-25, 14-25) to finish the Carolina Classic on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the tournament concluded, Amanda Dolan<\/a><\/strong> was named to the All-Tournament Team.\u00a0 It is her second All-Tournament Team this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw action from many of our freshmen today, plus we saw Samantha Brostrom<\/a><\/strong> return,\u201d says coach MJ Engstrom<\/a>. \u201cBoth yesterday and today we had our chances to win some of our sets, but we continue to lack familiarity of those we are playing next t on the court.\u00a0 But our young players are getting quality time on the court against some very competitive teams.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the morning match against GW (4-5), Tatum Jungsten<\/a><\/strong> got UAlbany (0-9) going early with a couple of kills as the Great Danes led 3-2.\u00a0 The team kept a small lead early, with kills by Rebecca Rivera<\/a><\/strong> and Mikala McCauley<\/a><\/strong> kept UAlbany in front 10-8.\u00a0 GW went on a 9-0 run, including four Natalie Leger service aces, to go up 17-10.\u00a0 Getting off that run, a couple of Jungsten kills helped keep the deficit at seven.\u00a0 GW won four straight to go up 24-13.\u00a0 The Danes defended against set point three times, but fell in the set 25-16.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a back-and-forth set two, after Dolan scored a kill, UAlbany found itself behind after a 6-0 GW run.\u00a0 UAlbany fought back, taking five of the next six points.\u00a0 At 9-7 GW, a McCauley kill helped spark UAlbany to win four of the next five to get an 11-10 advantage.\u00a0 A couple of Loren Williams kills helped GW take four of five to go back up 14-12.\u00a0 The Great Danes countered with a Jungsten kill, Brostrom kill, Olivia Schonewise<\/a><\/strong> ace, Jungsten kill and another Schonewise ace for a 17-14 UAlbany lead.\u00a0 Following an exchange of points, a GW 3-0 run tied it up at 18.\u00a0 A McCauley kill and Jungsten ace put the Great Danes up by two, then a Rachael Goss kill and UAlbany attack error tied it up at 20.\u00a0 Both sides exchanged points until UAlbany led 23-22.\u00a0 GW then got three consecutive kills to take the set 25-23 and go up 2-0 in the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany led 3-1 on the outset of game three, but GW took four of the next five.\u00a0 At 6-6, Jungsten earned a kill and an ace to spark a 4-0 to push UAlbany up 10-6.\u00a0 But the Great Danes did not win back-to-back points again in the set. \u00a0The Colonials won seven of the next nine to go up 16-14.\u00a0 A Rivera dump kill got the Danes back within one, but three straight GW points made it 19-15.\u00a0 UAlbany tried to recover after a GW service error, but a 5-0 Colonials run sealed the set to GW.\u00a0 GW took the game 25-17 to sweep the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the second match, UAlbany took on the tournament host, #18-ranked North Carolina (9-0).\u00a0 UNC got off to an 8-1 start in the first set, started by a trio of Leigh Andrew kills.\u00a0 At 10-3, a service error and Jungsten kill brought UAlbany within five.\u00a0 The Tar Heels built their lead to nine at 14-5.\u00a0 The action went back-and-forth until at 17-8 UNC, Brostrom served through a 4-0 run to put UAlbany within five. But eight of the last nine points went to the home team to give UNC a 25-13 first set.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set two saw UNC get the first nine points.\u00a0 UAlbany stopped the run and exchanged points, but UNC kept a large lead most of the way.\u00a0 The Great Dames defended set point twice, including a Rivera and Jungsten combo block, but the set went to UNC 25-10.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a set three-opening Lauren Adkins kill, Dolan earned a kill to tie it up.\u00a0 The home team won the next five points for a 6-1 advantage.\u00a0 The Great Danes look to fight back and went back and forth with UNC, using kills from Leindecker and Dolan to get within four at 10-6.\u00a0 At 13-8, UNC went on a 4-0 run.\u00a0 UAlbany got two points back after a UNC attack error and Schonewise service ace.\u00a0 The Great Danes got back to back-and-forth play but could not make up ground, losing in the set 25-14 to fall in the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the day, Dolan concluded with nine kills and three blocks, while McCauley and Leindecker each finished with eight kills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Danes will head back home until next weekend when they compete in the Penn State Classic in State College, taking on the tournament host on Friday at 7 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
