STORRS, Conn. - Sophomore Aila Dommestrup recorded her second double-double in as many matches, but it was not enough to prevent Connecticut from earning a 3-1 (26-30, 30-19, 31-29, 30-21) win against Syracuse on Saturday, Oct. 4. The Orangewomen now hold a 13-7 record and a 2-1 mark in the BIG EAST, while the Huskies improve to 11-6 overall and 1-0 in the league.
Dommestrup finished with 36 assists and 10 digs, as well as five kills and two block assists. Sophomore Kristen Conway led the Orange with 19 kills on 37 attempts for a .432 hitting percentage, as well as eight digs. Classmate Kelly Duan recorded nine kills and eight digs. Senior libero Christen Casey led the back-row defense with 17 digs.
Jamie Hadenfeldt recorded a double-double for the Huskies with 23 kills on 53 attempts and 14 digs. Julie Erbez also had a double-double with 50 assists and 11 digs. Megan Crawley had 17 kills and eight total blocks, while Xaimara Coss finished with 27 digs.
The Orangewomen's hitting proved to be their undoing, as the Huskies hit .270 compared to SU's .135. Connecticut proved to be more dominant at the net, accumulating 15.5 total blocks compared with Syracuse's 7.0.
The Orangewomen finish their trip with a stop in Jamaica, N.Y., where they will play a league match against St. John's at 1:00 p.m.
