Boston, MA (Sep. 14, 2024) --- The UMass Boston volleyball team split their home and away games Saturday. 

Nichols 

Starting the morning the Beacons took on Nichols College at the Clark Athletics Center and swept the Bisons in 3 sets. The Beacons never let the Bisons get a strong foothold, forcing them to hit in the negatives for two of the three sets. The serving game for the Beacs was strong resulting in 12 aces. Leading that category was Mary Matthews with 4 followed by Toni Guerra with 3. Mya Perron led the Beacs in kills with 10.

MIT 

After the sweep of Nichols, the Beacons traveled to Cambridge to take on no.10 MIT. MIT started the game on an 8-1 run, but the Beacons did not give up on any set and capitalized late by going on their own runs. Ultimately, no. 10 MIT was able to come away with the home win in 3 sets over the Beacons. Paige Coulson led the Beacons with 7 kills in the match. 

Coaches Corner
"This morning we fought to finish in three and executed our game plan. MIT is a great team. We challenged them in a couple areas and got better as a program raising the level of our competition. We're excited to get back in the gym for a great week of practice." - Stacy Cheney, Head Coach

Next Up 

The Beacons head south to take on Dean College on Wednesday, September 18th. The first serve is scheduled for 6pm.
