NORTH EASTON, Mass. – The Post University women's volleyball team suffered its sixth loss of the season to Stonehill College Friday, Sept. 26 by a score of 0-3. The set scores were: 16-25, 13-25, 17-25.
 
Sophomore Skylar German (Kansas City, Mo.) led the Eagles with eight kills and two blocks. It was only the second match of the season where Garman didn't record double digit kills. Junior Hailey Griffin (Plainfield, Conn.) finished with three kills and block as well. Senior Julia Slyaktina (Moscow, Russia) arranged the Eagle attack with 16 assists as Junior Janiellee Alvarez (Norwich, Conn.) handled the tireless Skyhawk attack tallying 14 digs on the night.
 
Stonehill did a tremendous job sharing the offensive responsibility as eight Skyhawks finished with three kills or more in the match. Senior Emily Iverson (Elmhurst, Ill.) did well to point-guard the opposition's attack totaling 36 assists.
 
In the early stages of the first set Stonehill went on a damaging six-point run to lead Post 9-5. From that point in the set, the Eagles looked to break up the Skyhawk attack but could only manage one point for every two credited to Stonehill. It looked like Post could mount a comeback with a three-point swing late in the set to cut the deficient to five points, but it was to no avail as Stonehill capped off the first set with two service aces to win 25-16.
 
The Eagles started the second set on a high note with a three-point run; however it didn't take long for the Stonehill offense to find its grove. As the set progressed, the Skyhawks scored in sets of fours, and cashed in on one monster seven-point swing to take a commanding 23-11 lead. Stonehill would go on to take the set by a score of 25-13.
 
In this game of runs, Stonehill was able to take advantage of the momentum once again in the third set. The Eagle offense did better their previous set totals by recording 17 points in the final set.
 
With this loss Post falls to 5-6 on the season, remaining 1-1 in CACC play. Stonehill improves to 9-3 overall as they hold the top seed in the Northeast-10 conference sitting 2-0 thus far.
 
The action continues Saturday, Sept. 27 as the Eagles host the Griffins of Chestnut Hill College in a CACC matchup at the Drubner Center. First serve is scheduled for 12 p.m.
