Volleyball rebounds to top Moravian at Greyhound Premiere

In print | September 10, 2009

Only four days after dropping a 3-1 decision against local rival Moravian College, the Garnet volleyball squad turned the tables on the Greyhounds in the championship bracket of the Greyhound Premiere Invitational, again winning by a score of 3-1.

The hosts edged Swarthmore in the first game of the match by a score of 26-24. The allure of revenge was too much for Moravian to withstand, however, as the Garnet surged to take the next three games (25-21, 25-15, 25-18) to seal the best-of-five victory.

Swarthmore took second place in the nine-team field with the win. The host Greyhounds, Swarthmore and Centennial Conference rival Franklin & Marshall each emerged victorious from their respective pools to gain berths in the championship bracket.

The Garnet dropped a 3-0 decision to the Diplomats, who won the tournament.

Genny Pezzola ’12 and Kathryn Montemurro ’13 were each tabbed for the All-Tournament Team.
