Volleyball outlasts Williams in five-set thriller

Three Continentals reach double digits in kills

Hamilton College's Kate Carman '24 hammered a season-high 17 kills and the Continentals battled to a 3-2 NESCAC win over the Williams College Ephs on Saturday afternoon inside Williams's Chandler Gymnasium. 
 
How It Happened
  • After defeating Williams in the first two sets by scores of 25-21 and 25-23, the Ephs came marching back with a close 25-23 victory in the third.
  • The fourth set was tied at 12-12 when Williams went on a 5-0 run. The Continentals answered with two kills by Drew Stimson '25 and another by Summer McClintic '24 to come within two. The Ephs ran off the next eight points and closed out the set at 25-15. 
  • Hamilton jumped out to a 5-1 lead thanks to four kills by Carman and never trailed in the fifth and deciding set. Up 6-4, the Continentals added three consecutive points on a pair of kills and an Ephs attack error. Hamilton held a five-point lead at 10-5 when Williams produced a four-point rally to draw within a single point and force a timeout by the Continentals. 
  • Williams evened the score at 11-11 on a service ace. The Continentals pushed for three straight points on two kills and a Pati Cerda '26 ace, but the Ephs answered with three in a row and forged another tie at 14-14. Hamilton clinched the match on kills by setter Melissa Morelli '24 and McClintic.
Notes
  • Hamilton improves to 5-1 overall (1-1 NESCAC) while Williams moves to 4-2 (1-1). 
  • The last time Hamilton defeated Williams was on Sept. 22, 2017 in five sets. 
  • The Continentals won in Williamstown for the first time in at least 20 years.
  • Stimson boasted a team-high .280 hitting percentage with 13 kills on 25 attempts and chipped in two blocks.
  • McClintic collected 13 kills and nine digs. 
  • Rylee Bergeron '26 recorded a season-high 16 digs and Cece Nourie '25 registered 15 digs. 
  • Melissa Morelli '24 handed out a season-high 45 assists and added three aces.
  • Williams held a 17-5 advantage in total blocks.
