The Plot: The College of Saint Rose concludes a two-match weekend homestand versus Northeast-10 Conference foe Saint Michael's this afternoon on www.gogoldenknights.tv.

Last Meeting (11/3/12): Saint Rose won 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-14) at Saint Michael's. Senior outside hitter Christina Strezenec and sophomore right side hitter Carissa Dube each tied for the match-high of 10 kills.  Strezenec added 11 digs for a "double-double" while Dube went for a .526 hitting percentage. The Golden Knights put down 11 blocks as senior middle hitter Alex Gagliano totaled six and sophomore outside hitter Kelsey Lace had five. Senior setter Jess McLeod was the facilitator for the Purple Knights with a match high 26 assists.

Scouting Saint Rose (14-3/6-2 NE-10): Saint Rose rebounded from two straight losses with a 3-0 win versus Saint Anselm last night. The team was led by 12 blocks as Gagliano was a part of seven of them. The Golden Knights maintain the second best blocks average in the NE-10 at 2.30. Meanwhile, Gagliano is second in the league at 1.20 blocks per-set while freshman middle hitter Maryellen Devic is third with 1.02. Devic is also third in hitting percentage (.354). Saint Rose has found balance on the offensive side of the net as the team is second in the conference with a 12.48 kills average despite no individuals among the league's top-10 attackers according to kills per-set.
