Wittenberg downs Kenyon in straight sets

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- The Kenyon College volleyball team fought hard on the road against Wittenberg University but timely runs pushed the Tigers to a straight set victory.

In the first set, the Ladies started the scoring as they jumped out to a 4-1 lead. The Tigers answered by exchanging points with Kenyon until the Ladies led 10-8. Wittenberg stopped the Kenyon momentum with a five point run to take the lead. The Ladies brought the game within one at 15-14 but another Tiger run stretched the lead. Wittenberg took the first set 25-18. 

Headed into the second set, Wittenberg started the frame with a 5-1 lead. The Ladies answered quickly, making the score 8-7 in favor of the Tigers. The two teams continued to exchange points until Wittenberg went on a four point run to take a 17-12 lead. Kenyon responded by scoring six straight points to take their first lead of the second set. After the Tigers recaptured the lead, the Ladies found themselves within one point again at 22-21. Wittenberg sealed the second set, 25-22. 

Starting the third set, the Tigers and Ladies swapped points once again. With the game tied at five, Kenyon found a five point run to take a 10-5 lead. Wittenberg responded with a 12-3 streak, regaining the advantage in the third set. The nine point advantage proved to be too much for the Ladies to overcome as the Tigers finished the final set with a 25-16 victory. 

The Ladies return to action on Wednesday when Ohio Wesleyan University comes to town for Kenyon's final regular season match.
