CRESSON, Pa. – The Hilbert College women's volleyball team traveled to central Pennsylvania this weekend to get a taste of Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference competition.

The Hawks dropped a 3-0 defeat to Mount Aloysius, who hosted the 4-team event this afternoon.  Hilbert closed the day with straight-set loss to La Roche University before returning to Western New York.

Mount Aloysius sandwiched a 25-7 middle set win with a pair of 25-11 victories to improve to 9-5 overall.

The Mounties limited Hilbert to only 15 points earned, which the Hawks collected via Kills (11), Solo Blocks (3) and one service ace.

Both Ashley Repine and Cassandra Thompson posted four kills each, Rachel Hare connected on the solo service ace while Repine (2) and Makenna Anastasia were credited with solo blocks.

The Hilbert Hawks battled against the Redhawks from La Roche in the nightcap.  Hilbert went deeper into the match fighting in 25-14, 25-22, 25-12 set scores.

Repine rebounded posting eight kills, nine digs, two service aces and one block solo.

Kayla Kuzara led the defensive effort with 14 digs and Ashley Page assisted the ball 12 times.  Rachel Hare got back on a roll in the nightcap, earning at least one service ace in 11 of the last 12 games played this fall.

The Hawks (0-12, 0-2 AMCC) return to league action this week when they host D'Youville College (October 2, 7pm) in the department's first Buffalo Cup contest.  The Spartans (2-8) also opened league play today, but their results are not updated.
