New England College volleyball swept University of Saint Joseph in the Bridges Gym on Senior Night 3-0.
“I think we showed out for the seniors today. I thought we did a great job giving our hitters options. We were a little slow making adjustments when they were tipping against us and also our hitters staying aggressive,” Coach Kirsten Morrison said. “I think we’re moving in a good direction moving into our next conference game.”
The ‘Grims won a close first set against the Blue Jays 25-23. On the next two sets, the ‘Grims beat Saint Joseph by 9 points or higher and finished the game with 44 kills.

“I thought they were aggressive, and they were playing for the lady next to them. I definitely thought Aurora did an amazing job setting and an amazing job setting her teammates up really well,” said Ashton Ventola.
Coach Morrison agreed that Aurora Gutierrez-Macias, a setter, had a strong night.
“Honestly I feel like we just performed with such love and passion. I think my teammates stand out more. You know they supported me, and I support them for all they do,” Gutierrez-Macias said.
Coach Morrison said it was a great night to celebrate the hard work of the seniors.
“I love them dearly and I think that they played their butts off today,” she said.
