WEST POINT, N.Y. – Coming off a 3-0 victory over conference foe Holy Cross, the Army West Point volleyball team will continue Patriot League play Friday, Sept. 25, when the Black Knights travel to Colgate for a 6 p.m. contest.
"We are looking forward to the competition against a very good Colgate team," said head coach Alma Kovaci. "It will be an intense battle between us since both teams are very similar. Our goal is to control our side of the court and focus on one point at a time. We must also continue to work as a team and be the best teammates we can be. Our team doesn't have superstars, but we are athletic and rely on each other to succeed. We will continue to focus on getting one percent better every time we step onto the court."
The Black Knights enter the match 9-5 overall and 1-0 in conference play. Carolyn Bockrath has been a constant for the Black Knights with a .465 hitting percentage, which ranks her No. 4 in the country and No. 1 in the conference.
Vanessa Edwards has paced the Army offense with a 10.07 assists per set average to rank first in the Patriot League. Edwards is currently on a five-match double-double streak dating back to Sept. 12 when the Black Knights defeated Harvard 3-2.
As a team, the Cadets lead the conference in assist per set with a 12.52 average and kills per set averaging 13.41.
Against Holy Cross, Nicole Perri was the main producer for the Black Knights with 16 kills and only four errors. Bockrath hit at .765 percent in the match with 13 kills. Edwards recorded 36 assists and 20 digs. Amber Clay also had a hand in the game with nine kills and 13 digs, while Shannel Chong recorded 15 digs and added nine assists.
The Raiders enter the match with a 3-9 record and are 1-0 in conference play. Last weekend, Colgate went undefeated at the Bucknell Tournament where they defeated the Bison (3-0), Delaware State (3-0) and Providence (3-2).
Kathleen Harris leads the Raiders offensively with 3.71 kills per set, which ranks her No. 3 in the Patriot League. She also ranks third in the points per set category with an average of 3.67. Molly Smith is the team's main setter with 207 total. Defensively, Jaelah Hutchinson leads the team in blocks with seven solo and 29 on block assists. Harris and Madison McAndrews rank highest on the team in digs per set with 2.93 and 2.83, respectively.
