Volleyball Grounds the Griffins, 3-0

Sierra Crook became the first player in Panther history to reach the 2,000 dig plateau in the win.

Philadelphia, PA - A second member of the Adelphi University volleyball team, Sierra Crook, reached a career milestone tonight in a, 3-0 (25-18, 26-24, 25-13) non-conference win over Chestnut Hill (7-10) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Crook managed 19 digs in the win, but it was her ninth that made her the first player in program history to record 2,000 digs in a career. 

Adelphi (9-7) were led offensively by Amanda Borges and Mandy Stanislovaitis, who were credited with 15 and 12 kills respectively, teammate Melissa Rigo just missed out on double digits with nine. Crook led the Brown and Gold with 19 digs and Rigo chipped in 11, while Megan Manierski had a game-high 38 set assists. 

Both the Panthers and Griffins managed 10 kills in the first set, but Adelphi took advantage of six Chestnut Hill errors, while committing just three to open play with a 25-18 win. The second set was a back and forth affair that required extra points to decide a winner. However, the Brown and Gold were credited with 21 kills, which was more then the hosts could overcome, giving Adelphi a 26-24 victory. The third set was all Panthers, thanks to 15 kills and a .467 attack percentage for the guests, which earned Adelphi the set and the match, 25-13.

Up Next:
The Panthers return to action on Friday, October 7 when they travel to Pleasantville, New York for a 7:00 pm contest against Northeast-10 Conference member Pace University.

Notes:
- Sierra Crook now has a program record 2,010 digs and is 279 digs shy of the Northeast-10 record, which is held by Bentley's Katie Marstein (2002-05) at 2,289.
- Mandy Stanislovaitis joins Crook, hitting a major career milestone this year, recording her 1,000 kill against Assumption on September 24 and now has 1,040, which places her fourth on Adelphi's all-time list.
