The College at Brockport women's volleyball team faced No. 1 SUNY New Paltz in the SUNYAC semifinals Friday afternoon in New Paltz and lost to the Hawks, 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-23).
The Golden Eagles finish the season with a 19-18 record. Senior Alyssa Fitchette (Watertown, NY/Watertown) had a game-high 13 kills and was named to the All-Tournament team. Heather Carroll (Windsor, NY/Windsor) had 11 kills, Kelly Nowak (Orchard Park, NY/Sacred Heart) chipped in with eight kills and Amanda Yachetta (Falconer, NY/Falconer) had a team-high 29 assists.
In the first set, the Hawks quickly jumped out to a 12-5 advantage only to see the Golden Eagles battle back to cut the Hawks lead to two, 19-17. The Hawks would hold off the Golden Eagles to take the first set 25-22.
After trading points to start the second set at 4-4, the Hawks used a 10-4 run to take control of the set. The Hawks would continue to push their lead to as many as seven at 20-13. The Golden Eagles would cut the lead to 22-18, but that was as close as it got as the Hawks scored the final three points.
In the third and final set, the teams battled to a 9-9 tie before Brockport started to build a lead. The Golden Eagles were able to establish a 19-14 advantage, but the Hawks scored the next four points to cut the lead to 19-18.
