Pacers Take Down King's in Straight Sets

Scranton, Pa.- The Marywood University women's volleyball team earned a 3-0 victory over King's College Wednesday evening at the Insalaco Arena.

Marywood won by scores of 25-22, 25-23, 25-9.

The Pacers improve to 17-2 overall and 2-2 in MAC Freedom play with the win, while King's falls to 11-5 overall and 1-3 in conference action.

Taylor Hallam and Catie Woolf led the way statistically for the Pacers. Hallam recorded eight kills and six total blocks, while Woolf added a match-high 18 digs.

Genevieve Pollock contributed nine kills, while Gracee Work and Carolina Samaniego each finished with eight and seven kills, respectively. Ayla Bransford added 21 assists, while Piper Herauf dished out 13.

Marywood jumped out to an early lead in the opening set before King's answered with a strong stretch midway through the frame. The Pacers found themselves trailing 19-15 before mounting a comeback.

Marywood scored six straight points to turn the deficit into a 22-17 advantage, highlighted by a pair of kills from Pollock and a service ace from Woolf. The Monarchs battled back to tie the set at 22, but the Pacers closed on three consecutive points to take the opener.

The second set was another back-and-forth affair with neither team leading by more than three points through the early stages. King's eventually opened a 21-18 advantage, but Marywood responded with five consecutive points to take a 23-21 lead. The teams traded points from there, but Work put the finishing touch on the set with a kill.

The Pacers left little doubt in the third set, scoring the first five points and never looking back. Woolf capped the victory with an ace.

The Pacers return to action Saturday when they travel to Rutgers-Newark for a tri-match. Marywood opens the day against John Jay College at 1 p.m. before facing host Rutgers-Newark at 3 p.m.
