UNH tops LIU in 3 straight hard fought sets.
By David F.P.
STORRS, CT – In their final matches of the tournament for the Long Island Blackbirds and the New Hampshire Wildcats took place in the evening at Gampel Pavilion. UNH would end up a victor in 3 straight sets, but not for a lack of offense from Long Island.
As always with recaps I tend to focus on the offensive, as it it hard enough to follow the fast paced action, but this is not to in any way downgrade the importance of key sets and key defensive plays. I do note defensive saves whenever I have time to right them down.
New Hampshire pretty much led most of set 1 opening up a block, though LIU picked up a point on a Wildcat serve into the net, Taylor Dressing delivered a kill, though Kelsi Klikus responded, following a long rally, the Blackbirds spiked a shot out of bounds, though Lauren Laquerre and Pauline Acres shared a block to regain the lead. Martina Racic hit one home, but Lindsay Fogarty came up with one of her many big kills, and a LIU attack out of bounds put UNH up 3-6. A UNH attack error gave LIU a point, but Acres knocked a ball off the defense and out of bounds. Svetlana Simic picked up a kill, but Fogarty struck again, though Ashley Rice and Simic both picked up kills for Long Island to get within 1. UNH picked up two straight blasts to extend the lead again though following a good save by Chelsey Stanton, Simic scored the kill, though a serve into the net by LIU had UNH still up 8-11.
