MATCH 1 BOXSCORE | MATCH 2 BOXSCORE
PRINCESS ANNE, Md. – The UMass Lowell Volleyball team lost two matches in the final day at the Maroon and Gray Invitational hosted by Maryland-Eastern Shore at the Hytche Athletic Center. In the early match, the River Hawks fell to Rider, 3-1 (20-25, 25-20, 21-25, 16-25), while UMass Lowell was defeated in the second match by UMES, 3-1 (13-25, 19-25, 25-20, 19-25).
"We asked the team to come out and play each team better today and they did accomplish that goal," said Head Coach Resa Provanzano. "There was a lot to build on, but we are going to get in the gym and work a lot harder on working together as a team in defense and producing kills from the serve receive."
With the losses, the River Hawks open the season at 0-4 overall, while UMES improves 3-0 and Rider upped its record to 2-1.
In the early match vs. the Broncs, freshman outside hitter Haley Shimon (Des Moines, Iowa) led the River Hawks' offense with a career-high 11 kills. Graduate Student Rachel Arnason (Kelowna, B.C.) and junior middle blocker Lauren Bennett (Wilmington, Mass.) each tallied eight kills apiece in the losing effort for UMass Lowell. Freshman setter Delaney Mendez (Phoenix, Ariz.) amassed a career-hihg 28 assists running the River Hawks' offense. Freshman libero Lindsey Visvardis (Homer Glen, Ill.) got her first career start and registered 20 digs and two service aces in the match.
The River Hawks notched double-digit kill totals in every set in the match and posted 13 kills with a .324 hitting percentage in their set two victory.
In the afternoon match vs. Maryland-Eastern Shore, freshman middle blocker Lade Adeniyi (Springfield, Ill.) recorded her second 10-kill performance of the weekend. Arnason, Shimon and freshman Erica Cappellino (Penfield, N.Y.) each had six kills apiece. Junior setter Alexa Toth (Portland, Ore.) totaled 25 assists quarterbacking the offense. Toth and Cappellino earned their first career starts in the match. Visvardis recorded another 15 digs in the loss for UMass Lowell.
The River Hawks won Set 3 on a service ace from sophomore libero Malorie McIver (Austin, Texas).
Bennett was the lone River Hawk named to the Maroon and Gray Invitational All-Tournament Team for her efforts over the weekend in four matches. She recorded 22 kills with a .405 hitting percentage to go along with 17 total blocks (4s,13a).
The River Hawks return to action on Friday, September 4th at the Bradley Invitational against Weber State at 10 a.m.
