ALBANY – The College of Saint Rose women's volleyball team stormed out to a 25-15 victory in set one and never looked back on the way to a 3-0 (25-15, 25-20, 32-30) Northeast-10 Conference victory against visiting Adelphi University this afternoon at the Daniel P. Nolan Gymnasium.

The Golden Knights remained unbeaten (3-0) throughout their first three league matches and also snapped a three-match skid against the Panthers. Furthermore, head coach Brian Goodale took one step closer to reaching a milestone of his own by chalking up the 199th victory of his 13-year career on Western Avenue.

Saint Rose (8-4/3-0 NE-10) never trailed in the opening set and fell behind only once in set two before senior outside hitter Sarah Kahrs delivered a kill to break an 8-8 deadlock. The Golden Knights went on to earn a 25-20 decision.

A dramatic third set featured 15 ties and a pair of lead changes as neither side would fold. Saint Rose senior outside hitter Aubrey Bobo finally got a kill that made it 31-30. Sophomore middle hitter Alex Gagliano and freshman defensive specialist Tori Daniels teamed up for a crucial block to punctuate a 32-30 triumph.

The Golden Knights had three players reach double-figures in kills led by Bobo, who led all players with 14. Senior middle hitter Chelsea Tyler added 11 kills and three blocks, while Kahrs wound up with 10 kills and eight digs.

Additionally, freshman libero Katy Daniels picked up 19 digs and freshman setter Ariana Wilson dished out 25 assists to go with her seven digs.

Senior libero Bianca Hernandez did her best to keep Adelphi (8-4/2-1 NE-10) alive with 19 digs. Meanwhile, junior outside hitter Emily Dorko contributed nine kills and six digs.

Both squads return to action Tuesday night with a pair of league matches on the schedule. Saint Rose heads to Le Moyne College where the two institutions will go head-to-head in an 'Upstate Challenge' battle. Meanwhile, Adelphi returns home to host Pace University. Both matches are slated to start at 7:00 pm.
