Balanced Attack Sweeps Medaille in E8 Women's Volleyball Play

Louque

ALBANY, N.Y. –  Russell Sage College had four players record six or more kills in this afternoon's Empire 8 Conference 3-0 sweep of visiting Medaille at the Kahl Campus Center.

Middle hitter Celia Gagnon (Troy, NY/Ichabod Crane), a graduate student, paced the quartet with 13 kills on .444 hitting. Junior outside hitter Sydney Shepard (Canajoharie, NY/Canajoharie) added nine kills on .214 hitting, while junior right side Caitlin Hammecker (Warnerville, NY/Cobleskill-Richmondville) finished off eight rallies. Freshman middle hitter Allison Louque (Westminster, MD/Winters Mill) rounded out the group with six kills on .211 hitting.

Junior setter Statia Walker (Schodack, NY/Maple Hill), ran the RSC offense, which hit .267 in the E8 matinee, to the tune of 34 assists, while senior defensive specialist Elaina Moisidis (Albany, NY/Albany), who surpassed 1,000 career digs earlier this month, led all participants with 23 digs. She was one of six Gators to elevate seven or more Medaille attacks.

Sophomore outside hitter Chase Luebeck paced the Mavericks (2-12/0-2 E8) with 10 kills, while senior outside hitter Halle Bogas contributed nine kills and 18 digs. The Medaille setting duo of freshmen Jessica Ramirez (17) and Avery Ang (13) combined for 30 assists. 

Looking ahead, RSC (4-12/1-1 E8) continues E8 play on Friday night at Saint John Fisher.
