CAZENOVIA, N.Y. - The Hilbert College women's volleyball team strung together two late-game rallies this week, but in both contests the Hawks suffered a 3-1 defeat.

For the second time this season Cazenovia College (2-14) grabbed a non-conference victory over the  Hawks who continue to battle looking for their first win of the season.

The Wildcats opened the night with back-to-back set wins (25-17, 25-21) yet Hilbert rebounded for a 25-19 victory.  The Hawks, who put up a big fight in the 4th, slipped in a tough loss (25-22) and dropped to 0-14 on the season.

Hilbert finished the 4-set match with their highest point total earned (43) and the most kills this season (32), but they gave away 26 points to the hosts via service errors or serve reception errors.

For the first time this season, two Hilbert players notched double-digit kills with Ashley Repine (3 solo blocks) earning 13 and Makenna Anastasia knocking down a career-high 10 kills.

Rachel Hare, who led the Hawks with 11 digs, added another game where she was credited for at least one service ace in 13 of the 14 games this season.

Ashley Page led with four service aces and ran the offense with 28 assists.  

The Hawks return to action tomorrow morning with a road game at SUNY Poly beginning at 11 am.
