After going 1–2 at the New York University Invitational over the weekend, it’s back to the drawing board for the previously hot volleyball team.

The Bombers defeated Elmira College in convincing fashion, beating the Soaring Eagles 3–0. The first match saw excellent performances from freshman Corinna Doctor, who led the team with 13 assists, and juniors Amanda Hubbard and Jenna Yehl. Hubbard led the South Hill squad with 20 kills, while Yehl recorded 11 assists. Juniors Andria Mynders and Katie Hause were also solid, each notching seven kills.

Unfortunately, the second game of the tournament, against the Coast Guard, was another story for the Blue and Gold. The Bombers lost 3–1. But despite the loss, Ithaca received strong performances from Doctor, who once again led the team with 31 assists, and Hause, who led the team with 20 kills and 4 aces. Junior Mary Schaefer led the team with 17 digs.

The Bombers’ final match of the tournament came against the 14th-ranked New York University Violets. While the Bombers played the host team valiantly, they ultimately lost 3–1. Junior Andrea Mynders had a team-high 14 kills along with 12 digs, while Hause and Hubbard each registered 12 and 11 kills respectively.
