record to 20-7 overall and 10-1 in the Patriot League while
Bucknell falls to 11-15 overall and 4-7 in the conference.
Game scores in the match were 30-21, 30-16, 30-28. As a team the
Eagles out-hit the Bison, .280 to .097, scoring 45 kills and
committing only 12 errors. Bucknell on the other hand recorded just
34 kills and was forced into 23 errors.
American was led by junior Christina Nash.
The setter tallied 32 assists in the winning effort with three
kills and six digs. Julia Borecka had a
team high nine kills, the first time this season she has led the
team in the statistical category, and matched a career high with 13
digs. Cynammon
Burns was just one dig shy of tying a career high set earlier
this year with 13 and also aced the Bison twice. Ivana Cebakova and
Claire Recht
each notched eight kills and recorded hitting percentages of .304
and .500, respectively.
The Eagles will return to action tomorrow, Nov. 3, when they
square off with Colgate at 2 p.m. The match pits the PL's top-two
teams as both are 10-1 in the conference and tied atop the
standings. The importance of the match goes beyond the conference
leaderboard as the PL Tournament is just two weeks away and
home-court advantage has yet to be decided.
