A local native from nearby Horseheads, New York, Maddie Hampton '24 shined in her first collegiate match. The 5-foot-4 libero helped the Soaring Eagles beat Nazareth in four sets on Monday, March 15, EC's first win over the Golden Flyers in a decade. She finished the match one shy of the team lead with 16 digs, while tying the match-high with four service aces. Hampton's passing proved to be a key to EC's victory, too, as she committed receiving errors on only two of 32 attempts.
Hampton and the rest of the Soaring Eagles will return to Pat Thompson '75 Court at Speidel Gymnasium on Wednesday, March 24, when Elmira hosts St. John Fisher College at 7:00 p.m.
