Volleyball overpowers host Williams in three sets, Fox '27 with 16 kills

Senior's previous career high in kills was 12 for the Continentals

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Hamilton College's Kathryn Fox '27 smashed a career-high 16 kills and the Continentals dominated the Williams College Ephs in three sets inside Williams' Chandler Athletic Center on Friday evening, Oct. 9.
 

Season Update

  • Hamilton (6-5, 2-4 NESCAC) stopped its losing skid at three matches.
  • The Ephs (10-5, 3-2), who had won four of their previous five matches, were swept in three sets for the first time this season. Williams received votes in the Oct. 6 Division III Top 25 coaches poll.
 

How It Happened (25-18, 25-18, 25-12)

  • The Continentals jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the first set and never trailed. After Hamilton moved out to a 9-2 advantage, Williams didn't get closer than four points the rest of the set. Ayzlinn Trefren '28 closed out the set with a kill.
  • In the second set neither team led by more than two points until the Continentals ran off three straight for a 13-10 edge. Fox put Hamilton in the lead for good with a kill, the Ephs had an attack error, and Mackenzie Sickinger '28 ended the mini-run with a solo block. Hamilton eventually led by as many as seven points at 22-15, 23-16 and the final score. Grace Seaman '29 ended the set with a kill.
  • Williams held a 3-2 edge but the Continentals took over with an 8-1 spurt for a six-point cushion at 10-4. The Ephs didn't get closer than five points after that. Grace Jansen '29 put Hamilton ahead to stay with a service ace and Fox, fittingly, clinched the set and the match with a kill.

  • Fox shattered her previous career best of 12 kills. She boasted a .609 hitting percentage with just two attack errors in 23 total attempts.
  • Elodie McGeiver '27 added eight kills and no attack errors in 18 attempts.
  • Trefren was all over the place again with 14 digs, eight kills and two aces. She's second in the NESCAC in kills per set, third in aces, eighth in digs and No. 1 in points.
  • Mia Jessen '28 led all players with 15 digs. Jessen is fifth in the conference with 3.97 digs per set.
  • Lucy Proud '29 topped the Continentals and tied a season high with 18 assists while Jansen added 15.
