Knights Remain Unbeaten in Liberty League with Sweep of Union

Schenectady, NY – Freshman Kristin Werdine recorded 12 kills and added five more service aces as the Clarkson University Volleyball team notched another conference victory by defeating Union College in three straight sets (25-15, 25-13, 25-10) in Liberty League action Saturday afternoon.

The Golden Knights improved to 16-3 overall and 4-0 in conference matches, while Union dropped to 9-10 and 0-5. Clarkson plays four matches next weekend at home, including a Liberty League matchup against St. Lawrence University.

Clarkson did not trail for the entirety of the match on Saturday, jumping out to sizeable leads in each of the three sets. In the opener, the Knights enjoyed just a 7-4 lead, but turned that into an 18-6 advantage thanks to a variety of offensive options. Union made things closer than they actually were with a strong run down the stretch, but a Gillian Kurtic kill ended the set at 25-15. The Dutchwomen hit just -.079 in the set (7-10-38).

Comparatively speaking, Clarkson's offense was quiet in the first set, but the Knights ramped things up in set number two with 15 kills and just three errors on 30 swings (.300). Kristin Werdine knocked down five assists and added two more aces as she and Rachel Reusch combined for Clarkson's first six points of the set. The Green and Gold extended that advantage to 10-1 on block assists from Reusch and Isabelle Crow and Union would only briefly keep the margin within single digits. Clarkson pushed the advantage to 10 (14-4) and rolled from there to gain a 2-0 lead.

The third and final set opened with back-to-back aces from Kate Isaksen and once again the Knights were off to a big lead. Near the midway point of the set, Gillian Kurtic delivered three kills to help Clarkson out to a double-digit lead, and this time the Knights limited their mistakes and would not allow the Dutchwomen any hope for a comeback. Clarkson hit .407 in the third set (13-2-27).

Overall, Werdine hit .375 (12-3-24) with five aces and eight digs. Gillian Kurtic struck for a .700 hitting percentage (7-0-10) and Reusch added eight kills and three block assists. Isabelle Crow ran the offense with 33 assists and also helped on defense with four block assists and 10 digs. Kate Isaksen led the team with 12 digs, passing three more players on the NCAA Division III all-time digs list in the process, moving up to 12th in that category (2863).

For Union, Gillian Gore led the offense with six kills, Sage Shimamoto had 10 assists and Kaylee Velasquez recorded 11 digs.
