Mariners Split NAC Pair

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

FARMINGTON, Maine – Maine Maritime Academy split a pair of pivotal matches against North Atlantic Conference (NAC) opponents Colby-Sawyer and Maine-Farmington. The Mariners fell 3-2 to Colby Sawyer before defeating Farmington 3-1.

Chelsea Ward (Homer, Alaska) posted 26 kills in the 3-2 loss to the Chargers (12-2, 5-0 NAC).

Ward also offered 19 digs and four service aces in the defeat. Each of the first four games was decided by two points, but the Chargers pulled away from the Mariners (15-3, 3-1 NAC) in the fifth and final game.

Jennifer Dixon (Ellicott City, Md.) piled up 50 assists and a dozen digs, while Melissa Lail (Elizabeth, Colo.) came up with three blocks to go with her 10 kills. Heather Moore (Macedon, N.Y.) recorded 10 kills and 12 digs. Emilee McBride led the Chargers' charge with 19 kills, while Kristin Sawyer assisted 52 kills.
