Nighthawks Fall to Saints

The Newbury College women's volleyball team was defeated by visiting Emmanuel College tonight in three quick games (25-13, 25-14, 25-15) in Brookline, MA.  The Saints were led by junior Megan Murray (Killingworth, CT/Haddam-Killingworth) who recorded ten kills as well as ten digs on the night. 

Emmanuel came on strong and never looked back.  In addition to Murray's effort, teammates Rebecca Stanton (Quincy, MA/North Quincy) and Jenna Ross (Centerburg, OH/Centerburg) each recorded eight kills to balance the Saints' offensive attack. 

Despite the loss, Newbury received a solid performance from sophomore Tricia Corriveau (Coventry, RI/Coventry) who came away with a team-high six kills and 14 digs. 

Before the match, the Nighthawks honored lone senior Sarah Nelson (Bernardston, MA/Pioneer Valley) for her hard work and dedication to the volleyball program.  Nelson has played in 256 career games and registered 967 career assists.  Currently, she leads Newbury in service aces with 53.
