MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (September 26, 2020) –The Webber International University women's volleyball team fell on the road for the first time so far in 2020 as the Warriors lost 3-0, (25-21, 25-23, 25-13) against St. Thomas University on Saturday inside the Fernandez Family Center.

Webber got back to within two points of St. Thomas twice late in the first set, first at 21-19 on a kill by Kelsey McKinley and then again at 23-21 on a service ace by Madelyn Glouner, but then back-to-back kills by the Bobcats ended the set.

In the second set, Webber used back-to-back kills by Svenja Koenig and Glouner, both assisted by Camryn Brown, to get within one at 24-23 before another Bobcat kill gave St. Thomas the 2-0 lead.

In the third set, Webber trailed 22-10 after a 7-0 run for the Bobcats. The Warriors hit only .087 percent in the third set compared to .400 percent for St. Thomas.

McKinley led Webber with 12 kills and a .444 attack percentage while Amanda Vega had 17 assists and Kiersten Tisdale had 19 digs. Additionally, Nora Burgos-Heredia and McKinley both finished with four blocks.

"Our Warriors had a good fight, but ultimately St. Thomas out performed us offensively today," spoke Webber's Head Women's Volleyball Coach Gretchen Hand. "We had some nice leadership from Kelsey McKinley, and Kiersten Tisdale did a nice job coming off an injury. We look forward to seeing St. Thomas on Halloween for our Senior Day."

Following the match, both Webber's and St. Thomas' records sit at 4-3 overall and .500 in The Sun Conference as the Warriors are now 2-2 in the league while the Bobcats are now 3-3 in conference matches.
