Volleyball Sweeps Conn College, 3-0

 HARTFORD, Conn. – The Trinity College Volleyball team put together a commanding performance on Saturday, sweeping NESCAC foe Connecticut College, 3–0, in front of their home crowd. With the win, the Bantams moved to 8–3 on the season, snapping a brief two-match losing skid, while improving their conference record to 1-2. Trinity's efficient offense and balanced defense powered them past the Camels, who were held to just 39 points across three sets.

What Happened:
  • The Bantams set the tone early, controlling the opening set from start to finish in a 25–21 victory without ever surrendering the lead.
  • Connecticut College battled back in the second set and held a three-point advantage midway through, but Trinity regrouped with a late push to edge out a 25–23 win.
  • The third set turned into the most dramatic frame of the match, as both sides traded points deep into extra play before the Bantams prevailed, 27–25, to secure the sweep.
Leaders:
  • Senior Maggie Barnes and first-year Sarah Jeremias paced the Bantam attack with a career-high 10 kills apiece, combining for nearly half of the team's 46 total kills.
  • Senior Ellie Gordon fueled the offense with eight kills on a team-high 27 total attempts, helping Trinity post a .208 hitting percentage as a unit.
  • Senior Caroline Howell sparked the service game with two of the Bantams' four aces, along with a team-high 19 assists.
  • On the defensive end, junior Scarlett Jago anchored the back row with a team-high 15 digs.
  • Trinity totaled 69 digs on the day, keeping rallies alive and frustrating the Camels' hitters.
Inside the Numbers:
  • Trinity recorded 46 kills compared to Conn College's limited offense.
  • The Bantams overcame 19 attack errors but still managed an efficient .208 hitting percentage.
  • Jago's 15 digs were part of a team-wide effort that produced 69 digs overall.
  • The Bantams controlled play at the service line, finishing with 4 aces, including 2 from Howell.
  • Trinity outscored Conn 51–39 in total points, sweeping the match in three straight sets.
 
Up Next:
  • The Bantams return to action on Saturday, September 27, when they travel for a tri-match at UMass-Dartmouth against the University of Southern Maine and the host Corsairs.
  • All-time, the Bantams are 3-0 against Southern Maine, including a 3-0 win last season, and 1-0 against UMass-Dartmouth, but haven't faced the Corsairs since 1997.
