Continentals were the eighth seed in their return to the conference championship

WATERVILLE, Maine – Colby College's Brady Moseley led all players with 10 kills and added 11 digs in the Mules' three-set win against the Hamilton College Continentals in a 2026 NESCAC Volleyball Championship quarterfinal inside Colby's Margaret M. Crook Center on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 7.
 

Season Update

  • Hamilton (10-10 overall) was the eighth seed for the championship. The Continentals ended the regular season with wins in three of their last four matches. Hamilton – under Acting Head Coach Brittany Orminski -- finished with a record of .500 or better for the first time since 2023.
  • The eighth-ranked Mules (20-3) have won all 12 of their matches played at home. Colby is the No. 1 seed for the championship.
 

How It Happened (25-15, 25-20, 25-15)

  • The Continentals trailed just 4-3 in the first set when the Mules scored six points in a row on three Hamilton attack errors and three kills by Colby's Evelyn Kunde. The Continentals didn't get closer than four points the rest of the set.
  • The second set featured nine ties early, including at 12-12. The Mules ran off seven of the next eight points and led comfortably the rest of the set. Two kills by Kunde and a kill and an ace by Moseley keyed the Colby spurt.
  • The Mules ended any hopes of a Hamilton comeback right away in the third set when they recorded the first five points and jumped out to a 12-2 advantage. The Continentals pulled within six points at 17-11, but that was as close as they could get.
