The Triton College volleyball team ensured a winning road swing after sweeping Olive-Harvey College in three sets: 25-18, 25-12 and 25-11 Tuesday night in Chicago. The Trojans finished a four-game road stretch with a 3-1 record.
"It was good win for us," said Trojans head coach
Thomas Malesky. "We hit .206 as a team and only had one player in the negative. "We were efficient and overall served very well."
Triton as a team recorded 11 service aces, led by
Tanya DeLaRiva with 4.
Melissa Schmidt and
Gianna Arenella had two aces each.
Schmidt and Arenella were the table-setters with 14 and 8 assists respectfully.
Miriam Guler had a team high 18 kills for the Trojans.
Triton picked up road victories Sept. 9 at Kankakee Community College and Sept. 11 at Milwaukee Area Tech.
In the win at KCC, the Trojans bounced backed after losing the first set 23-25 to win the next three games 28-26, 25-20 and 28-26.
"It's a lot of pressure when you play sets that close and to come out on top," Malesky said. "The Kankakee win said a lot about the character and mental resolve of our team."
The Trojans defeated MATC in three sets; 25-12, 25-18 and 25-12. The only road loss came in five sets against College of Lake County at the MATC Tri-Match.
