Game Recap: Women's Volleyball |

Resilient Cougars put away Cardinals in three sets, giving Michell Cadet first win as Head Coach

The Medgar Evers women's volleyball team registered its first victory of the 2022 campaign on Thursday evening, turning back the Cardinals of York College in a non-conference match by scores of 25-22, 25-13, and 30-28.  The match was played at the York College Gymnasium in Jamaica, Queens. With the triumph, Medgar Evers improves to 1-2 on the season, while the Cardinals are now 0-1.

The Cougars' hearty effort resulted in Medgar Evers Alumnus Michell Cadet earning her first victory as Head Coach.

Leading the way for Medgar Evers on the evening was Quiara Brye Bey, as she finalized her evening with a team-high four kills to go along with three digs. As a team, the Cougars recorded 11 service aces, including a match-high five from Raine Williams. Williams also registered a match-high five digs, as well.

Shamonie Miller paced York despite the Cardinals' loss, as she earned a match-high six kills. Andrea Wright contributed five kills, and Cherub Autar added a match-high 14 assists.

Medgar Evers showed incredible resilience in the first set. The Cougars trailed by deficits of 7-3, 12-5, and 19-12, before Medgar Evers charged back to finish the set on an incredible 13-3 run to win it, 25-22.

The Cougars also fell behind by a score of 8-6 in the second set, and later held a 14-12 edge, before finishing the set by scoring 11 of the final 12 points to capture it, 25-13.

In the third and final set of the evening, neither squad took more than a three point lead, with the Cougars doing so twice, and the Cardinals, once. York College led 20-18, and appeared poised to push the match to a fourth set, but Medgar Evers rallied back to grab a 24-23 lead. With a chance to put the match a way, a Britenie Marcelus service error knotted the match at 24-all. A Jordan-Taylor Robinson kill put the Cougars ahead 25-24, but consecutive points catapulted York to a 26-25 edge.

Staring at a third set defeat, the Cougars stayed poised. Brye Bey registered a kill to tie the set, 26-26. Medgar Evers then took the lead, 27-26, when Carnegie would record a service ace. The teams then alternated the next three points, and, with the set knotted at 28 apiece, Medgar Evers scored two consecutive points to capture the set and the match.

The Cougars will look to make it two consecutive triumphs on Monday evening, as Medgar Evers will return to the court for its home opener, welcoming in the Panthers of SUNY Old Westbury. Start-time at the Cougars Cave is set for 7:00pm.
