Delaware 3, VCU 2

Oct. 24, 2001

 

Sara Kearns' 24 kills helped the Blue Hens keep their CAA playoff hopes alive.

RICHMOND, VA -- Sara Kearns' 24 kills and Cameo Neeman's 19 kills, 15 digs and five blocks sparked a rally and led the University of Delaware to a 3-2 win over Virginia Commonwealth in Colonial Athletic Association volleyball action Friday afternoon.

The Blue Hens lost the opening game, 30-26, before evening the match with a 30-27 win in the second game. VCU (7-16, 0-9 CAA) looked to be in control, though, when it won the third game, 30-20. However, Delaware rallied to win the last two games, 30-26 and 15-7, to make a winner of interim head coach Sue Stauffer in her debut.

Freshman Taylor Govaars also added 13 kills and 17 digs as Delaware (8-14, 4-6) kept its hopes alive for a CAA Tournament bid. The Blue Hens trail James Madison (4-5 in CAA action) by 1/2-game for the fourth tournament spot. The two teams still meet on November 9 in Newark. James Madison plays host to UNC Wilmington tomorrow before road games against Delaware next Friday and Hofstra next Saturday.

Delaware will take on William & Mary in another key CAA match at 2 p.m. Saturday.
