Hartford, Conn. - Senior Hunter Drews (Clifton Park, N.Y.) and sophomore Anne Hay (New York, N.Y.) combined for 14 aces, as the Trinity College women's volleyball team defeated Mitchell College in three straight sets on Tuesday evening in Hartford. The win pushes the Bantams to 4-6 on the year while Mitchell falls to 2-7.

Trinity got off to a slow start against the Mariners, falling behind 6-2 in the first set. The Bantams rallied back thanks to strong play from Drews and Hay who had five and seven kills, respectively to help tie the set at 15 all. Trinity pushed ahead, taking a 23-18 lead before four straight Mariner points cut the lead to 23-22, however the Bantams offense was too much for Mitchell and so took the set 25-22.

The second set was all Trinity, specifically Hay whose three consecutive aces early in the set caused the Mariners to take a time out trailing 7-1. Not much changed during the remainder of the set as Trinity finished on a 18-7 run to win 25-8.

Set three was also dominated by the Bantams who went up 9-3 and never looked back, winning the set by a score of 25-17, and sweeping the Mariners.

Offensively, Trinity tallied 26 aces and 32 kills to go along with 26 assists, 11 of which came from senior Gina Buzzelli (Cheshire, Conn.) along with 13 from junior Shelby Deck (Newport Beach, Calif.). Sophomore Claudia Varner (Port Washington, N.Y.) also had a good evening, contributing five kills, two aces, and four digs in the game.

Trinity is back in action on Friday, Oct. 2, when they will host Middlebury at 8:00 p.m.
