BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Senior Callie Dolan notched 14 kills to help power Endicott College to a 3-0 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) women's volleyball victory over the University of New England on Wednesday evening (Sep. 25) at the Harold Alfond Forum. Set scores were 25-14, 25-13, and 25-19.

The Gulls (7-8) move to 2-0 in league action with the triumph, while the Nor'easters (6-5, 0-1 CCC) fall for the first time in four matches.

Dolan received attacking support from first-year Tori McIntyre and sophomore Mackenzie Guerre, who registered eight and seven kills, respectively. McIntyre also tallied five service aces to go with a team-high 15 digs. Sophomore Alleigh VandeMerkt helped pace the offense with 30 assists. Rookie Erika Trudon finished with 12 digs for Endicott.

For UNE, senior Angie Brunette and junior Leah Janelle each recorded eight kills. Senior Maria Kuehl put forth a solid all-around performance, posting 21 assists, a match-best 16 digs, and four aces.

Leading 8-6 in both the 1st and 2nd sets, the Gulls used runs of 8-1 (1st) and 14-4 (2nd) to gain separation en route to a comfortable 2-0 cushion.

The visitors raced out to a 6-0 advantage in the 3rd frame, but only led 22-19 late, before a kill from Guerre and two aces from McIntrye sealed the match.
