Women's Volleyball Finishes Second At Williams Invitational

Williamstown, Mass. Oct. 5, 2002 - The Springfield College women's volleyball team finished second at the Williams College Invitational after three-straight victories on Saturday (Oct. 5).

After falling to the host Ephs on Friday night, 3-0, the Pride bounced back with 3-0 shutouts of Colby-Sawyer, Endicott and Saint Joseph's (Maine) to improve its record to 14-2 on the season.

Junior libero Leah Gass (Suffern, N.Y.) was named to the all-tournament team after anchoring the SC defense. She was credited with a match-high 15 digs in the Pride's win over Endicott.

Ranked No. 5 in the New England Region, Springfield will travel to No. 2 MIT on Tuesday (Oct. 8) in a key conference match, and will host the six-team Tom Hay Invitational on Saturday (Oct. 12) in Blake Arena.
