Cardinals Strong Set Finishes Lead to Shutout of Falcons

FAIRMONT, W.Va. – In a battle for the early season league lead, the young Cardinals proved tough in the late sets. Wheeling Jesuit finished strong in the opening two sets and claimed a pair of 25-23 set wins, before it pulled away and completed a 3-0 shutout at Fairmont State.
 
Down 22-21, the Cardinals (10-4/2-0 Mountain East Conference) came out of their time out in a flurry with four of the final five points, including a pair time out Haley Kramer kills to claim the opener. Tied at 23 in the second set, Maddy Smyth and Aleah Stauffer downed back-to-back winners for a 2-0 match lead and 25-23 final against the Falcons (9-5/1-1 MEC). WJU went out to an early 10-3 advantage and pushed ahead 21-12 in the third set before it completed the shutout by a 25-14 margin.
 
WJU and Concord are the lone MEC teams to finish the opening conference weekend 2-0.
 
For the second time in as many days, Kramer paced the Cardinals with 15 kills and no errors in 29 attacks for a .517 hit percentage. The sophomore middle blocker added four digs and three block assists.
 
Cassie Meyer recorded her ninth double-double in 14 matches of her freshman season with 13 kills and 19 digs. Makenna Babb added eight kills and 12 digs with Smyth hitting six kills.
 
Stephanie Sylvester handed out 41 assists to go with 13 digs, two block assists, and a kill. Audrey Francis and Abby Moffit dug 18 and 13 attacks. Emily Reedy lined a key ace and had three digs, while Stauffer swung two kills and was in on a block.
 
The Falcons senior outside hitter Mackenzie Harrison downed 17 kills to go with 19 digs.
 
WJU returns to the McDonough Center for a Tuesday night, Sept. 26, match against IUP. First serve at 6 p.m.
