The Suffolk University Volleyball team swept a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) doubleheader over the weekend at Albertus Magnus College.
Suffolk topped the host Falcons by a 3-0 score before closing out the afternoon with a 3-2 victory over Saint Joseph's College (Me.).
Freshman Krista Iacobucci (Rocky Hill, Conn.) finished the day with a combined 23 kills as Suffolk jumps to a 2-0 record in GNAC play and 6-9 overall mark.
Iacobucci was one of three Suffolk players to record three service aces in the opener to go along with her game-high 10 kills as Suffolk swept all three sets over the Falcons. Junior Katie Matatall (Danville, N.H.) posted 20 digs on the defensive side for the Rams, who won by scores of 25-18, 25-21 and 25-16.
Iacobucci and junior Yabriela Perez (Boston, Mass.) each finished the second game with 13 kills to help pace Suffolk offensively. Senior Glamarys Sierra (Carolina, Puerto Rico) recorded 36 setting assists in the victory as she rolled out with 57 in the double header.
After winning the first two games 25-20 and 25-13 Suffolk would drop the next two before closing out the victory over the Monks with a 15-11 win in the match deciding fifth set.
Matatall again had a strong effort defensively posting 25 digs in game two.
Suffolk will be back in action on Wednesday as they travel to UMass Dartmouth for a 7:00pm non-conference matchup with the Corsairs.
