Utica, NY -- The Elmira College women's volleyball team's woes continued tonight as the Soaring Eagles fell on the road to SUNY IT, 3-1.  With the loss, Elmira falls to 2-12 on the season while the Wildcats of SUNY IT improve to 9-10.
 
Elmira split the first two sets, losing the first 25-18 before winning the second by an identical score.  Unfortunately, the Wildcats would use a strong effort to close out the match, winning the final two sets, 25-18 and 25-17.
 
Ashley Heiman '16 had 14 kills tonight, setting a career high for the third-year middle hitter.  Her 14 kills came on just 26 attempts, while making just two errors, giving Heiman a gaudy .462 hitting percentage.  Paola Ortiz '16 also posted double-digit kills tonight as she recorded 10, marking just the third time this season Elmira has had two or more players with double-digit kills.
 
Elmira's Sami Hanes '16 continued to be a source of consistency for the Soaring Eagles as she logged 33 assists, eight digs, four aces, and a solo block, EC's lone block of the contest.  Defensively, Kelsey Ross '16 led Elmira with nine digs.
 
The Purple and Gold will be back in action tomorrow when Elmira takes on Alfred State at 11:00 a.m.
