Split Leaves Volleyball at 4-1 in SLIAC

The Webster University volleyball team dropped a match to preseason favorite, Greenville College, then beat host MacMurray College on September 17, in Jacksonville, IL.  The Gorloks slugged it out with the Panthers before falling 3-1, and then had a much easier go as they swept the Highlanders.

Against Greenville, Webster hung in there for the first set before losing 22-25.  The Panthers had an easier time as the Gorloks fell in set two, 12-25, but Webster got into the match with a 25-17 win in the third set.  Battling to send the match to a tie-breaker, the Gorloks lost 23-25 in set four, giving Greenville the match, 3-1.  

Webster and Greenville came into the match tied for first at 3-0 in the SLIAC.  Greenville, which has won or tied for the SLIAC regular season title the last six seasons, is off to a hot start and improved to 9-1 for the season by day's end.  Torie Grassi (SO, St. Louis, MO/Rosati-Kain) and Jory Siebenmorgen (SR, Eureka, MO/Eureka) each led Webster with eight kills.

Kelsey Hamann (SO, Waterloo, IL/Waterloo) led Webster in assists (15) and digs (25).  Ashley Robinson (JR, Bloomington, IL/Bloomington) had 12 assists and 12 digs in the match.  Katie O'Toole (SR, St. Louis, MO/Lutheran South) had 20 digs.

The Gorloks continued their dominance over MacMurray, sweeping the host Highlanders, 25-11, 25-17, and 25-20.  Webster has not lost to MacMurray in volleyball since 1996.  Siebenmorgen had 12 kills and Macee Owen (SO, Tucson, AZ/Empire) had 11 in the match.  The Gorloks had a .318 attack percent as a team for the contest.  Hamann had 23 assists and O'Toole had 17 digs to lead the Gorloks.  Rachel Mencel (JR, Colchester, IL/West Prairie) and Siebenmorgen each had four block assists in the match.

Hamann has 508 career assists, moving her into 16th place on the Gorloks all-time career list in just a season and a half of play at Webster.

Webster is 4-1 in the SLIAC and 8-4 overall with the split.

The Gorloks are back home on September 20 as they host Eureka College before heading up Big Bend Blvd on September 22 to take on #19 ranked Washington University.
