WEST HAVEN, Conn.
(September 1, 2007) – The Franklin Pierce University
women's volleyball team dropped two matches on the second day
of the Baden Invitational, falling to host New Haven by a score of
3-1 (30-15, 30-32, 30-25, 30-25) and to the University of
Bridgeport by a 3-0 (30-18, 30-28, 30-22) score.
Franklin Pierce fought hard in its first match of the day against
the host Chargers before falling in four games. In the second game
of the match, which the Ravens won by a score of 32-30, the
visitors faced two game-points at 29-28 and 30-29, but Franklin
Pierce fended them off thanks to a kill by redshirt freshman
Michelle Koike (San Francisco, Calif./Gonzaga
University) and a New Haven attack error. The Ravens won
four of the last six points to take the game, but lost in four
games.
Sophomore Katie Ristow (Miami, Fla./Miami Killian Senior
HS) led the Ravens with 11 kills and 11 digs in the first
match, recording her second consecutive double-double. Junior
co-captain Nicole Buchholz (Ashburn, Va./Stone
Bridge) reached double-figures in kills for the Ravens
with 10 and also produced five blocks, three digs and a service
ace. Three Warriors reached double-digits in kills, led by the 16
of Hannah Meier (Lodi, Calif./Tokay).
The Ravens dropped the second half of its doubleheader to
Bridgeport, 3-0. Koike led the Raven attack, as she was the only
Franklin Pierce player to reach double-figures in kills with 13 and
added five digs, two blocks and two assists. Junior co-captain
Karissa Hookstadt (Camarillo, Calif./Camarillo)
recorded her first double-double of the season for the Ravens with
26 assists and 11 digs, while adding two kills and a service ace.
For Bridgeport, Ivana Kovacevic-Jurasin (Belgrade, Serbia/Faculty
of Economic) led the way with 16 kills and 16 digs.
Franklin Pierce (1-6, 0-0 NE-10) will return to the court on
Wednesday against Stonehill, when the Ravens play the first of five
consecutive home matches at the Franklin Pierce Fieldhouse. The
team will also be opening its 2007 Northeast-10 schedule when it
takes on the Skyhawks beginning at 7 p.m.
