SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse University volleyball team looks to extend its nine-match road winning streak when it visits both Notre Dame and DePaul. This will be the first of two weekends spent on the road for the Orange as it begins the final segment of the 2008 regular season.
“Notre Dame is one of the top teams in our league right now,” head coach Jing Pu said. “They are ranked higher than our team in several statistical categories. Our goal is to continuously improve our performances and achieve victories this weekend as we travel to Notre Dame and DePaul.”
Syracuse is coming off a tough weekend at home where it suffered two setbacks to BIG EAST foes Cincinnati and Louisville. Senior Marissa Kanemura led the Orange in digs tallying 43, including a career-high 32 against the Bearcats. Offensively, freshman Noemie Lefebvre proved to be the threat on the left-side for the Orange. She posted 32 kills in the two matches.
Scouting the Fighting Irish (November 1, 10 a.m.)
The Fighting Irish prepare to play Syracuse on Saturday having won its last match against BIG EAST competitor Seton Hall (3-0). During the match, Christina Kaelin totaled 14 kills, while Kristen Dealy had 12. Dealy also helped secure the victory by achieving her second double-double of the weekend by tallying 13 digs.
The Fighting Irish have only three conference losses at this point in the season and rank fourth in the BIG EAST. Notre Dame’s win at Seton Hall last weekend broke a two-game losing streak after suffering two setbacks to Long Beach State (3-1) and Villanova (3-2).
Scouting the Blue Demons (November 2, 2 p.m.)
DePaul heads into Sunday’s match against the Orange with only one BIG EAST victory this season. The Blue Demons posted a 3-0 sweep of the West Virginia Mountaineers on Oct. 12. Most recently, DePaul suffered losses to both Seton Hall (3-0) and Villanova (3-1).
Against Villanova, sophomore middle blocker Jacie Fiedler tallied a season-high 17 kills. Also leading the Blue Demons were Caitlin Callaghan, who had 19 digs, and Sarah Cullen, who had her 14th double-double after recording 14 kills and 14 digs.
Saturday’s match against Syracuse will mark the sixth meeting between the two teams. The Orange is currently leading the series with four wins against the Blue Demons, with its last victory in 2007.
