THROGGS NECK, N.Y. – The York College women's volleyball team had four players record five or more kills, using a balanced attack to defeat SUNY Maritime 3-0 (25-23, 28-26, 25-17) on the road Thursday night.

The first two sets were very tight. The Cardinals led 24-21 in the first set and were able to hold on after Maritime fought off two set points. In the second set, York trailed 26-25 and was able to even the score, thanks to a
Shauncia McClendon ace. A McCrimmon kill and then a set error by Maritime gave the Cardinals a commanding 2-0 lead. York then won the third set in comfortable fashion.
In the loss, Maritime (0-12) was led by Sydne Carella and Charlotte Acklin with six kills each.
York, now 2-8, will take a road trip to SUNYIT for a four-match tournament this weekend.
