Volleyball Bests Eastern Connecticut, 3-0

Seutter posts 15 kills to lead the offense against the Warriors

WILLIMANTIC, Conn. – Powered by a 44-kill effort on the day, the UMass Dartmouth volleyball team defeated Eastern Connecticut State, 3-0 (25-14, 25-13, 25-20) in Little East Conference action on Saturday afternoon. The Corsairs move to 13-7 overall and are now 6-1 in conference play.
 
Junior opposite Olivia Seutter led the way offensively, banking 15 kills with just two errors on 27 swings for a .481 hitting percentage. She added a service ace, a block assists and two digs. Senior captain and outside hitter Allison Pate posted 10 kills with two assists, two aces, a block assist and match-best 17 digs, while senior middle blocker Maddie Carter had seven kills and four block assists. Senior setter and captain Skye Peters added a kill with a match-high 35 assists to go along with an ace and six digs, while rookie outside hitter Norah Schweitzer had nine kills with three block assists and two digs.
 
In the opening set, the Corsairs opened an 8-5 lead, backed by kills from Schweitzer and Seutter. The Warriors pulled to within one (8-7), but a 6-0 rally – including three kills from Carter – saw UMD open a 14-7 advantage. Eastern tried to battle back, but a five-point swing from the Corsairs and two final kills from Schweitzer gave UMD the first set win.
 
Second set action saw the Corsairs go up early by a 6-2 margin behind an ace from Pate and kill by Soutter. The Warriors worked to get back into the frame, but UMass Dartmouth utilized a five-point rally late to make it a 24-11 score – backed by a pair of kills from Schweitzer. An attacking error by the Warriors made it a 2-0 match lead for the visitors.
 
In what proved to be the final set, the Corsairs found themselves down 8-6 early, but a kill from Pate tied the score at 9-all and UMD went on to battle for three straight points to make it a 20-17 advantage after kills from Peters, Pate and Carter. The Corsairs continued to hold the lead with the final two kills coming from Seutter to close out the match.
 
UMass Dartmouth returns to action on October 30 when they host LEC-rival, Plymouth State at the Tripp Athletic Center. Match time is set for 6pm against the Panthers.
