HAMBURG, N.Y. – Pitt-Bradford earned a quick straight-set victory at Hilbert College tonight in women's volleyball.  

An injury in the second set caused the Hawks to lose their focus as they tumbled to 0-9 in AMCC play while the Panthers improved to 7-2 with a firm hold on a high seed in post-season play.

Bradford won the first set (25-11) by going on the attack.  They built a nine-point advantage (13-4) behind 10 offensively-created points. 

Hilbert kept the second close early in the second set (5-5 score) before the Panthers went on another run of 8.   Casandra Thompson knocked down a kill to break up the momentum yet Bradford stretched the gap further (18-7) and used the service line for the win (25-12).

The Hawks, out of sorts with a key starter missing in the line-up in the final set, played out of sync and suffered a 25-6 defeat.

Hilbert (0-21) posted eight team kills and Ashley Page was credited with five assists.  Ashley Repine led with three kills and Thompson earn a team-high seven digs.

Bradford finished with 28 kills (.264) and 14 service aces.

The women's volleyball team winds down their 2019 season this Saturday, November 2 when they host Franciscan University in a 1pm AMCC game.  Arrive early and give Ashley Repine and Hannah Prenoveau one final cheer as they close their careers on the volleyball court.
