BALTIMORE – Kennedi Smith (The Woodlands, Texas) and Emma Patolivich (Lake Forest, Ill.) both recorded a double-double to lead the University of New Hampshire volleyball team to Sunday afternoon's 3-2 victory against UMBC at UMBC Event Center. The game was played in minimal lighting during a campus-wide power outage.
The set scores were 25-16, 19-25, 25-22, 20-25, 15-13. UNH is 11-5 overall and 1-1 in America East. UMBC moved to 3-12, 0-2.
In the decisive fifth set, UNH trailed 13-12 but a service error by the Retrievers leveled the score. Erin Hedrick (Montvale, N.J.) and Hannah Crist (Cicero, Ind.) combined for a block -- UNH's 13th of the match -- to give the Wildcats match point at 14-13. New Hampshire closed out the set and match on the next point, a kill by Hannah Petke (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.).
