Park Women's Volleyball traveled to William Penn for a Saturday afternoon volleyball match and left with a three-set win (25-17, 25-17, 25-23). Park won the kill battle 46-28 and had at least 13 kills in every set.
Isadora Dias recorded 13 kills, and
Indi Zetic followed right behind with 11.
Carlota Pinto came off the bench and tallied five blocks to help the Pirates win. Maju Vieira led the match in kills with 15, but couldn't help William Penn get past Park.
How it happened
Park got off to an early 4-0 lead in set one and never relinquished the lead in the set. William Penn got it as close as one at 10-9, but Park immediately responded with a five-point streak led by three Park kills. William Penn could just never find a way back into the set, and Park sailed to a set one win, 25-17. The Pirates recorded 18 kills in the set, hitting .472, while Wiam Penn managed eleven kills.
William Penn did lead at some point in the second set, winning 2-1 through three points. Park would claim seven of the next eight points to put William Penn right back where it was in set one.
Carlota Pinto recorded three kills in the streak. Again, it was just never close after that. Park never let the match get closer than three, and ended up winning by eight (25-17). Park, again, had a strong 13 kills, while William Penn recorded just six and 10 attack errors.
The third set was going about the same as the first two, with Park getting an early lead and maintaining it at 15-10. However, William Penn showed life and spit out four straight kills to get within one of the Pirates. After Park pulled away by four again at 20-16, William Penn took a timeout and won the first three points after the break, shortening the lead back to one. A true race to the finish,
Isadora Dias launched a kill to the hardwood to close out the third and final set, 25-22.
Park went 4-0 on the two-week road stint and will come back home to Breckon Sports Center for a matchup with a strong Missouri Baptist University squad on Friday, Oct. 9.
