HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • In the opening set, the Soaring Eagles would take its first lead of the match after a kill from Makenna Clark '25 put the Purple & Gold ahead 11-10. The kill was a part of a 4-0 run for Elmira which gave the visitors an early 13-10 advantage, and after the teams traded points down the stretch, it was EC who would score four of the final five points, including three attacking errors from the Wolves, and another kill from Clark to give Elmira a 1-0 lead in the match with a 25-22 first set victory. 
  • In the first set, Elmira would record ten kills compared to six and a -.121 hitting percentage for the Wolves, with Clark, Caroline Barr '27, and Maddie Boucher '24 each paving the way with three a piece. 
  • In the second, the Wolves would jump out to a quick 12-2 advantage while boasting an early hitting percentage of .455% through the first 18 points. The Wolves would eventually take the set 25-6, while EC got three of its points on kills from Boucher, another kill from Clark, and the other pair of points on a pair of errors from the Wolves. 
  • The third set would play much more back-and-forth between the teams, as Keuka held the narrow 16-13 advantage at the midway point. After a kill from Boucher brought Elmira within one (17-18), the Wolves would be forced into a timeout. From there, the teams would once again trade points back-and-forth, before Keuka eventually took four of the final five points to take the second set 25-23, and a 2-1 lead in the match. 
  • In the fourth, Keuka would hit .214% with 12 kills compared to just two kills for the Soaring Eagles, as the Wolves went on to take the set 25-15 and the match 3-1.
