Clarkson Volleyball Starts Season with Two Wins at NCSO

Junior Rachael Aird averaged better than five-and-a-half kills per set through the opening two matches of the year for the Clarkson University Volleyball team as the Golden Knights claimed a pair of victories on the first day of the North Country Season Opener Friday at Alumni Gymnasium.

In the first match of the year, the Golden Knights were sent to the brink as they were pushed to five sets by Oneonta State in the debut of the North Country Season Opener. Clarkson outlasted the Red Dragons in five sets (25-12, 23-25, 25-11, 19-25, 18-16).

The final set truly had Clarkson on its collective heels as the Knights trailed by five points late (12-7, 13-8) before finding a way to squeak out some extra points as the match neared completion. That little extra push turned out to be enough as the team maintained its streak of wins on its home floor.

Rachael Aird finished with 26 kills and a .340 hitting percentage to go along with three blocks and five digs. Freshman Rachel Reusch scored eight kills with just one error in 15 swings and Katrina Lane contributed nine kills. Kate Isaksen had 26 digs and Jillian Saenz produced 46 assists as well as a 5-0-10 line on attacks. For Oneonta, two players reached double figures in kills, with Paige Carpluk producing 12 and Erika Corbin tossing in 10. Constance Krause also had nine kills and Jessica Pelaccio had 37 assists and 10 digs. Carpluk and Sara Feldman each had 11 digs to lead the Red Dragons.

Clarkson used its momentum from the last match, in addition to a five-hour break, to claim a three-set win over Central College in the final match of the day at the tournament. Each set got progressively more lopsided, though the Dutch won the first three points of the third set and appeared ready to push the match to extra time. Clarkson rattled off the next six points and then utilized a strong block to get numerous tallies down the stretch to double up the Dutch in the final set.

Rachael Aird again had a strong match with 19 kills and nine digs, while Kendall Cheval had six kills and 12 digs. Rachel Reusch produced seven kills in 15 swings with just one error and also had a pair of block assists and Savannah Peters added four block assists. Jillian Saenz recorded 31 assists and Kate Isaksen had 20 digs.  For Central, Kylie Gerstein, Ellie Stoakes and Jenna Dillie each had five kills and Chapel Carter had 17 assists. Nicole Ewoldt had a team-best 14 digs.
