KEUKA PARK, N.Y. – The Hilbert College women's volleyball team took the court for the first time in 671 days and slipped in their season opening game to Keuka College.  The Hawks will have a chance to redeem themselves in the second day of a 2-day invitational tournament tomorrow.

THE BASICS

• Final Score:  Keuka 3    I    Hilbert 0
• Location:  JMW Recreation Center, Keuka Park, NY
• Records:   Keuka  1-1  I  Hilbert 0-1

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Keuka swept the Hawks in three straight sets, winning 25-10, 25-5 and 25-15.
• The Wolves jumped out to a 9-1 lead early in the first set by earning six of the nine points awarded to their side of the scoreboard and ran away with the win. 
• Keuka stretched a 7-point lead (10-3) to 21-3 lead for the victory in the second set and ran with an 11-7 lead to the final 25-15 win.
• Please note… the game stats seem to be incomplete (IE: play by play does not finish with final score of 25, so potentially, there are additional Hilbert stats missing)

GAME NOTES

• Freshman Katie Kocieszewski led the Hawks with three kills, followed by Jessica Cruz-Jackson's two kills (5 digs).
• Ashley Page was credited with eight assists, two kills, seven digs and one service ace while Kayla Kuzara matched Page's effort on defense with seven digs.
• Hilbert collected 10 kills, finishing their first night of competition in 2021 hitting (-.147) while Keuka swung for 34 kills with only five hitting errors (.387).

UP NEXT
