Cardinals fall to regional powerhouse
Juniata
 GETTYSBURG,
Pa. — The 2001 season came to an end as Catholic was overwhelmed
by Juniata 3-0 in the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Final. Game scores were
30-20, 30-19, and 30-13.
The Eagles advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament
where they will meet the winner of the South Region next weekend. Catholic
ends the season with a 38-3 record including a school-record 21-game win
streak.
Catholic found itself behind early in each match and had trouble penetrating
the Juniata defense as the Cardinals could only produce 23 kills for the
entire match. Seniors Kelly Kings (Pensacola, Fla./Pensacola Catholic)
and Liz Carden (Baker, Fla./Baker) and sophomore Kathleen McGlynn
(Tallahassee, Fla./Leon) each had five kills apiece.
Juniata (28-8), ranked in the AVCA Top 10 all season, never trailed in
the match. The Eagles had three players finish with double-digit kills.
Niki Mueller led all attackers with her 17 kills. Juniata received most
of their points courtesy of 12 service aces. Danielle Hart collected six
service aces to lead the Eagles.
The first set saw Catholic trail early by no more than five points at
13-8, but Juniata went on an 11-4 run to open their lead up. The Cardinals
would get as close as 27-20 but the Eagles spiked their way to three straight
points to take the first game.
In the second game, Catholic fell behind 3-2 and saw the Eagles score
11 straight points. The Cardinals would get no closer than seven points
the rest of the way.
Juniata turned it on in the third game as the Eagles used a 13-2 run
late to clinch the match and advance to the quarterfinal.
Senior Alexis Rollert (Comstock Park, Mich./West Catholic) shoveled
out a team-high 14 digs while Mary Ellen Ryan (Gulph Mills, Pa./Merion
Mercy Academy) was held to just three kills after pounding out 10
kills the night before. Junior Liz Schreiner (West Chester, Pa./Merion
Mercy Academy) chipped in three kills and three blocks.
