UNH earned a 3-2 victory against Binghamton and a 3-0 win vs. UMBC
NEWARK, N.J. -- The University of New Hampshire volleyball team earned a pair America East victories on Monday afternoon at Fleisher Athletic Center on the campus of NJIT.
With the wins, the Wildcats improve to 5-3 overall, while Binghamton and UMBC fall to, 0-9 and 8-3, respectively.
In the late match, UNH swept UMBC, 3-0. The set scores were 25-17, 25-22 and 22-19.
Junior outside hitter Kate Bilyeu (Omaha, Neb.) led the UNH attack with a team-high 11 kills with a .212 hitting percentage and four digs. Freshman outside hitter Hannah Serbousek (Fort Collins, Colo.) and junior middle blocker Abby Sullivan (Methuen, Mass.) chipped in with eight kills apiece. Serbousek added a .350 hitting percentage and nine digs, while Sullivan hit at a .538 clip with seven total blocks.
"Today we were committed to not only our game plan, but to each other," said UNH Head Coach Christopher Feliciano. "Our group has the potential to do great things with the understanding that sometimes you have to just go after it without fear or doubt."
Freshman libero Mia Pagliarini (Springboro, Ohio) added 16 digs in another strong defensive effort for the Wildcats.
Anouk Van Noord totaled a match-high 14 kills in the losing effort for UMBC.
The 'Cats hit .250 in the win against the Retrievers and posted 17 kills and a .357 hitting percentage in the opening set vs. UMBC.
In the opening match of the day the Wildcats took down Binghamton by a 3-2 score. The set scores were 25-20, 24-26, 23-25, 25-16 and 15-12.
"After going five sets in the first match most teams would struggle through fatigue," commented Feliciano. "Especially when you have to play back to back matches. Our team did the complete opposite, as the day went on we found another gear."
Serbousek recorded 13 kills with a .286 hitting percentage, seven digs and three aces in the 'Cats first win of the day. Bilyeu added 12 kills and a .360 hitting percentage with six digs. Junior right side hitter Ari Pola (Auckland, New Zealand) amassed a career-high 10 kills with a .273 hitting percentage. Pagliarini registered another 18 digs on defensive side for the 'Cats. Freshman middle blocker Gabby Smith (Carmel, Ind.) also added eight kills with a .429 hitting percentage.
Senior setter Emma Patlovich (Lake Forest, Ill.) posted 31 assists and nine digs running the Wildcats' offense.
UNH hit .323 with 14 kills in the opening frame and totaled 17 kills with a .412 hitting percentage in set two. Overall, the Wildcats hit .297 in the five set match.
Stefana Stan tallied 15 kills and 14 digs in the losing effort for the Bearcats.
The Wildcats return to action for their home opener on Saturday, March 27 against NJIT. Match time from Lundholm Gym is 2 p.m. on AmericaEast.tv.
