KEENE, N.H.9/4/13– The Keene State College women's volleyball team swept Westfield State University 3-0 in its home-opening match at Spaulding Gym on Wednesday night.

            Keene State (2-1) won the first two sets by the identical scores of 25-18 before taking the third set 25-18.

           Christine Hadfield had a career high 10 kills the pace the Owls offense. Olivia Broderick had eight, while Angela Silveri and Catherine Kazazian both slammed home seven each. Setters Alexis Michal and Brooke Bell combined for 31 assists while Sammy Dormio tied with Hadfield for the team lead in digs with eight.

            "We have so much offense, but didn't show a lot on defense," said KSC Coach Bob Weiner. "Offensively, we have endless possibilities. They love to hit. They love to score, but they didn't worry about the other parts of the game.  That's a concern."

            Seniors Lindsey Rescott (Northport, N.Y.) and Julia Warner (Lee, Mass.) had seven kills each to lead Westfield State (3-1).  Warner also had eight digs and 16 assists.

            Keene State travels to Conn. College on Saturday for a tri-match with Wheaton College (3 p.m.).  Westfield State will be at the Springfield College Tournament on Friday with matches against Eastern Conn. (5 p.m.) and Rivier College (7 p.m.).
