Volleyball Heads to New Hampshire on Sunday

This will be the final match for both teams before America East Tournament play

VESTAL N.Y. - Binghamton volleyball (13-12, 7-4 AE) looks to notch a final win before post-season play, heading to Durham, NH on Sunday to face New Hampshire (18-10, 9-2 AE). This will be the regular season finale for both teams.
 
Coming off an exciting win last Saturday night for senior night, BU is hoping to hold momentum and continue their performance against the Wildcats. In the 3-1 win over Stony Brook, Binghamton out-hit the Seawolves .296 to .182. Freshman outside hitter Lauren Kornmann racked up 19 kills for the match, senior libero Bailey Walker had 19 digs, and junior setter Sarah Ngo finished with 46 assists.
 
Currently, the Bearcats are ranked first in the league in service aces (1.59/set), second in the league in both hitting percentage (.198) and blocks (2.09/set), and fourth in the league in both kills (12.00/set) and digs (14.69/set). Individually, Kornmann ranks third in the conference in kills (3.27/set), Ngo is third in assists (9.71/set) and Walker ranks fourth in digs (4.59/set). Senior middle hitter Bianca Anderson is ranked fourth in blocks (1.02/set) while sophomore outside hitter Gaby Alicia is ranked first in service aces (.40/set).
 
Recording a straight set win against Albany (15-9, 9-3 AE) New Hampshire has locked in the No. 1 seed and America East Tournament host for the fourth straight year. The Wildcats won the tournament title each of the previous three years. UNH currently holds the league lead in hitting percentage (.223), assists (12.41/set) and kills (13.27/set). They also rank second in digs (16.46/set) and service aces (1.57/set). Demi Muses leads the conference in kills (3.64/set) and is ranked fifth in digs (3.56/set) while Keelin Severtson is ranked first in assists (10.91/set).
 
The Wildcats will be going into Sunday looking for redemption after recording one of their two conference losses the last time the two teams met on October 14th. BU secured the match in a 3-1 win at home, outhitting the Wildcats .201 to .113. This also marked the first time that Binghamton had beat New Hampshire since 2012; the same year the Bearcats won the America East Tournament. Ngo had 44 assists and 26 digs for the match while Walker finished with 27 digs.
 
The match is set to start at 1 p.m. at Lundholm Gymnasium.
