ALBANY - The College of Saint Rose women's volleyball team puts its three-match win streak on the line tonight as the Golden Knights welcome the University of New Haven to the Daniel P. Nolan Gymnasium for a 7:00 pm Northeast-10 Conference match. The Chargers have won 36 regular-season league contests in a row coming into tonight.

LAST MEETING (September 25, 2010)
Saint Rose took the opening set 29-27, but the University of New Haven swept the next three en route to a 3-1 (29-27, 21-25, 17-25, 21-25) triumph over the Golden Knights last September 25 at Charger Gymnasium. Kelly Ryan and junior outside hitter Kayleigh Quinn recorded 10 kills apiece to lead Saint Rose. Quinn also picked up six digs, while Ryan had a pair of blocks.

Sophomore outside hitter Christina Strezenec and senior outside hitter Sarah Kahrs each hit double-digits in digs to pace the Golden Knights' defensively. Strezenec wound up with 15 digs, while Kahrs added 12 digs and five kills.

New Haven played terrific in the back row as four players found double-figures in digs. Senior libero Heather Ladao led all players with 19 digs.

SCOUTING SAINT ROSE (10-4/5-0 NE-10)
The Golden Knights have won three in a row following a 3-0 win at Pace on Saturday. Saint Rose is thus one of three unbeaten teams (New Haven & Stonehill) in the NE-10 at this juncture. Head coach Brian Goodale collected his 200th career victory six days ago via a 3-0 triumph at Le Moyne.

The Golden Knights are hitting a collective .199, which ranks fourth in the conference, while holding their foes to a .131 hitting percentage.

Senior outside hitter Aubrey Bobo paces the league in hitting percentage (.368) and is second in kills per-set (3.71). Meanwhile, Kahrs has produced a team-best 142 kills and is second on the squad with 96 digs. Freshman libero Katy Daniels has piloted the defensive unit thus far. Daniels leads the squad and stands second in the conference with 4.43 digs per-set (226 digs). She has also served up a team-high 19 aces.

SCOUTING NEW HAVEN (11-4/6-0 NE-10)
The Chargers close out a three-match road trip tonight on the heels of a 3-1 victory at UMass Lowell on Saturday. New Haven is riding an 11-match win streak after dropping its first four matches of the 2011 campaign. Furthermore, the Chargers have won 36 regular-season NE-10 matches in a row on the strength of back-to-back 15-0 seasons.

Junior outside hitter Keidy Candelaria paces the conference in kills (4.32 k/s) at this juncture. New Haven also boasts a strong front row that ranks second in the league in blocks (1.98 b/s). Sophomore middle hitter Amber Cannady leads the way with 1.14 blocks on a regular basis.         

UP NEXT
Both squads return to action Friday night with a pair of league matches on the schedule. Saint Rose is set to host Bentley University, while New Haven returns home to entertain Southern New Hampshire University. Both matches are slated to start at 7:00 pm.
