POTSDAM -- The SUNY Potsdam volleyball team (11-8) swept past SUNY Canton (9-7), 3-0, in its final home contest on Wednesday night.
The Bears wore down the Kangaroos in each of the three sets by scores of 25-19, 25-19, and 25-20.
Senior outside hitter Samantha Strader (Watertown, N.Y./South Jefferson) posted a season-high 15 kills to lead the attack. Sophomore Dakota Pruiss (Wallkill, N.Y./Wallkill) contributed six kills and five digs and freshman outside hitter Liza Fields (Duanesburg, N.Y./Duanesburg) added six aces.
Sophomore setter Jenna Blujus (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) finished the night with two aces, six digs and 26 assists.
Bears Head Coach Steve Pike was satisfied with win, but also impressed with Canton.
“SUNY Canton is doing a great job building their program,” said Pike. “They really came out and competed tonight. We were able to out-serve them and that was the difference. Liza’s (Fields) serve was great for us tonight and Sam (Strader) did some good things for us on the outside, scoring-wise. They were key for us in keeping Canton out of system.”
Next, the Bears travel to Kean, N.J., on Saturday, Oct. 1, for the Kean Tri-Match. Potsdam faces host Kean at noon, followed by Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts at 2 p.m.
