CLINTON, N.Y. – Trinity College's Ellie Gordon tallied a match-high 15 kills and the Bantams defeated the Hamilton College Continentals in five sets (16-25, 26-24, 25-16, 18-25, 15-6) inside Hamilton's Margaret Bundy Scott Field House on Friday, Oct. 27.

How It Happened
  • In the fifth set Trinity gave up the first point but scored the next four and cruised the rest of the way. The Bantams led by as many as nine points and eventually sealed the match on a kill by Lola Craig. 
  • Trailing 12-9 in the first set, Hamilton claimed the next five points for a 14-12 advantage. The Bantams fought back and evened the score at 16-16, but the Continentals ran off the next nine points and took the set.   
  • The second set was tied at 13-13 when the Bantams countered with the next five points for an 18-13 cushion. Hamilton slowly chipped away at its deficit and finally moved in front for the first time in the set at 24-23 on an ace by Kendall Scholz '27. Facing set point and a big deficit, Trinity responded with kills by three different players and tied the match at a set apiece. 
  • The Bantams recorded the first three points in the third set, rolled out to a 6-2 advantage and stayed on top the entire set. Trinity boasted a .457 hitting percentage with 19 kills and just three errors. 
  • After five early ties and three lead changes in the fourth set, Hamilton scored five straight points and grabbed a 16-11 advantage. The run was sparked by a kill by Summer McClintic '24, two blocks apiece by Kate Carman '24 and Drew Stimson '25, and two Trinity attack errors. The Bantams were able to pull within two points at 19-17, but Carman, McClintic and Scholz combined for four straight kills and a 23-17 cushion.
