Women’s Volleyball Cruises to 3-1 Win Over VTSU-Johnson

JOHNSON, VT - The New England College women's volleyball team defeated the Badgers of Vermont State University - Johnson in four sets on Tuesday night at Carter Gymnasium in Johnson, Vermont, in nonconference action. 

THE BASICS 
Score: New England College 3, VTSU-Johnson 1 (25-18, 20-25, 25-18, 25-13) 
Records: Pilgrims 2-4 | Badgers 2-5 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • The Pilgrims played well right out of the gate and did not trail for a single point in the entire first set. A kill by sophomore right-side hitter Maeve Amarosa (Madbury, N.H.) would secure the first set by a score of 25-18. 
  • With the 'Grims up 5-4 early in the second set, the Badgers went on an 8-0 run to seize control of the set and never turned back, ultimately taking the set 25-20. 
  • Following a loud response from the hosts in the second set, the 'Grims had an immediate response of their own – a 9-0 run to begin set number three. NEC dominated and kept Johnson at arm's length throughout the entire set, which was won by the Pilgrims, 25-18. 
  • NEC kept things going in the fourth set with multiple large runs leading to a comfortable lead that would be held throughout the entire set. Junior outside hitter Lily-Anne Heywood (Derry, N.H.) capped off a strong night with a kill to take the fourth set in convincing fashion by a score of 25-13.
