VB: LE MOYNE SWEPT BY MERRIMACK, 3-0, IN NORTHEAST-10 ACTION

North Andover, Mass. - Molly Cindric registered 18 kills and 15 digs to lead Merrimack College to a 3-0 win over the Le Moyne College volleyball team on Saturday evening in Northeast-10 Conference action at Volpe Gym.

The Warriors opened the match by jumping out to a 16-5 lead. Cindric turned a three point lead into the 16-5 advantage with eight straight points off serve. After the Dolphins pulled within 17-10 on a kill by freshman Morgan McDermott (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee), Merrimack rattled off five straight points and eight of the game's final 11 points for a 25-13 win.

In the second game, the Dolphins took an early 9-6 lead on a kill by sophomore Kelli Willets (Apalachin, N.Y./Vestal). The Warriors bounced back with six straight points to take a three point lead of their own. After back-and-forth play resulted in a 19-18 lead for the Dolphins, Cindric landed a kill off a pass from Elyse Lorenz to tie the score and give her team the serve. Lorenz proceeded to record the final six points of the game for a 25-19 victory.

Merrimack captured the match with a 25-21 win in the third game. Lorenz turned a 7-3 lead into an 11 point advantage with seven consecutive points off serve. The Dolphins rallied behind the serves of classmates Elizabeth Cheek (Huntington Beach, Calif./Rosary) and Lindsey Gleason (Hamburg, N.Y./Frontier) to get within 16-12. The two teams traded points, with Le Moyne getting as close as 20-18, before Cindric closed out the match with her 18th kill on Lorenz's 40th assist.

McDermott led the Dolphins with 10 kills, while hitting at a .444 percentage, and added a match-high four blocks. Senior setter Kaylin Brainerd (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool) posted 20 assists and eight digs in the setback, with Cheek and Gleason registering 13 and 10 digs, respectively.

Le Moyne (10-3, NE-10 2-1) returns to action on Sunday afternoon at UMass Lowell at 1:00 p.m.
