Swarthmore (12-5, 2-0 CC) made it five straight losses for Bryn Mawr (4-8, 0-3 CC) last Thursday, overcoming the Owls in straight sets (25-23, 25-16, 25-14).

It was the first Centennial Conference game for the Garnet (Swarthmore beat Franklin & Marshall 3-1 on Sept. 5 in a non-conference meeting), who hadn’t won a conference opener since 2006.

Genny Pezzola ’12 continued an outstanding season for the Garnet with 14 kills against Bryn Mawr, while first-years Hope Skibicki ’13 and Allison Coleman ’13 had notable performances, as well.
Skibicki led the squad with 13 digs, while her classmate Coleman was solid with a .357 attack percent.

Last night, the Garnet squashed Washington (8-7, 0-2 CC) at home by a score of 3-0.

Next up is the thick of the Centennial Conference season as the Garnet takes on four conference opponents in a row.

The Garnet will look to end a streak this weekend in a roadtrip to Westminster, Md. A win against McDaniel would be a first for the entire squad; the Garnet hasn’t defeated the Green Terror since 2005.

After McDaniel (10-6, 1-1 CC) on Saturday at 1 p.m. Swarthmore will return to Tarble Pavilion to host Johns Hopkins (11-5, 0-1 CC) on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. and Dickinson (5-9, 2-0 CC) on Oct. 10 at 12 p.m.

Swarthmore will wrap up the conference outings with an away match at Muhlenberg (4-7, 0-1 CC) on Oct. 13.
