The University of New Haven women?s volleyball team saw its run to the NCAA Division II Women?s Volleyball Championship come to an end in a 3-1 loss on Thursday night in the Elite Eight at UWF Field House in Pensacola, Fla.
The Northeast-10 Conference and East Region champion Chargers fell 25-16, 27-29, 25-17, 25-22 to end their season at 30-2 ? the second-best record in terms of winning percentage (.938) in program history.
It also marks the 20th 30-win season and 35th winning campaign in the last 37 years.
The loss snaps a 27-match winning streak that included a fifth-straight unbeaten run through regular-season play in the NE-10.
Keidy Candelaria concluded her career with a double-double with a team-high 10 kills and 14 digs. The two-time All-American will leave New Haven ranked fifth all-time ? and first in the rally scoring era ? with 1,562 kills. She is one of seven members of the Chargers? 1,000-kills and 1,000-digs club.
Amber Cannady and Kristen Lee each had eight kills, Kristy Atufunwa added four kills and Ashley Dalton had one.
Kaulana Ane dished out 26 assists from the setter spot while recording seven kills of her own and completing a double-double with 11 digs.
Leading all players in the back row was freshman Kea-Marie Olaso with 21 digs to finish her rookie campaign with 497 digs, the fifth-highest single-season total in New Haven history.
At the net, Cannady had a hand in eight of the club?s 12 blocks. Ane was a part of five rejections and Atufunwa chipped in for three.
A slow start plagued the Chargers in the opening set. New Haven fell behind 10-1 and never recovered en route to a 25-16 win for the Greyhounds. Continued...
The squads split the first 10 points of the second set before Indianapolis again made the first run ??this time claiming an 11-5 lead.
The Chargers? climb back was aided by two separate 3-0 runs, the latter of which tied the score at 18. The Greyhounds jumped back in the lead and held off New Haven to a 23-21 advantage.
At that point, an error, a Candelaria kill and an ace from Bai Zhang vaulted the Chargers to a set-point situation, leading 24-23.
Indianapolis fought off two set points and New Haven erased an opportunity for the Greyhounds to take the match, before an Ane kill and an attack error by Indy sealed the marathon set with New Haven, earning a 29-27 win.
The Chargers started fast in set three, taking a 5-2 advantage behind two kills from Cannady.
New Haven maintained the lead to an 11-8 count before Indianapolis rallied with six straight points to gain a 14-11 advantage that it would not relinquish.
The Greyhounds pulled away to take a 25-17 decision in the set and a 2-1 edge in the match.
Set four was another back-and-forth affair as both teams erased deficits in the early stages of the set.
The battle went to a 22-21 score in favor of the Chargers, but at that point Brittany Anglemeyer slammed home four consecutive kills for the Greyhounds to finish the match with a 25-22 victory.
