Ramapo College used a balanced attack and aggressive gameplay to take a 3-0 win over the College of Staten Island in women’s volleyball in a non-conference affair played at the Sports & Recreation Center earlier this evening. The win improved the Roadrunners to 20-7 on the season overall, while the Dolphins fell for only the second time in its last eight games, dipping to 11-14 on the year.
After exchanging a series of leads in the early going of game one, Ramapo used a seven-point streak to take over game one by a score of 13-7. From there, the Roadrunners were able to keep CSI guessing with timely sets and improbable digs. CSI was out-killed in the frame, 12-3, en route to the 25-12 final. Ramapo won game two, 25-7, allowing the Dolphins only a single kill, and in game three Ramapo prevailed 25-13 for the straight-set victory.
A total of 13 players got into the game for Ramapo while CSI played only seven. Kayla Anders set the pace for the Roadrunners, notching seven kills, while Tiffany Fischer tallied a game-high 15 assists. Meagan Teage posted four service aces while also leading her squad with 8 digs. For CSI, Joanna Tepedino led the way with six of CSI’s 10 kills in the match. Karina Zenkova tallies three aces, while Alba Basha scattered eight digs. CSI was out-killed, 28-10, even though Ramapo had only one more attack attempt in the game.
