Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Wooster, Ohio - The Oberlin College volleyball team played a pair of matches at the Ginny Hunt Classic on the campus of the College of Wooster on Friday afternoon, falling in four sets to the Geneva College Tornadoes (20-25, 13-35, 28-26, 23-35) before responding with a four-set triumph over Pitt-Greensburg (8-25, 25-13, 25-12, 28-26). 

In the victory over the Panthers, three different Yeowomen finished with double-digit kills led by senior Natalie Dufour who hit .400 with 13 send-downs. Zeynep Kaya added 12 kills, while Julia Hall added 10 in the win. 

With Iris Archibald out, Jillian Jendsen slotted into the libero role and registered a team-high 18 digs to accompany her three aces, while Josie Macdonald chipped in 13  digs to go along with five aces. First-year Genna Gauither had a strong all-around performance with 27 assists and 11 digs. 

The Panthers had no answers for the strong serve of the Yeowomen as they dropped in 16 aces as a team, led by six from senior Cami Sweet who also had three solo blocks and two block assists. 

After a lackluster first set Oberlin found its footing in the second session and never looked back. In the second frame, Oberlin led 12-8 and ripped off eight straight points to leave no doubt in the outcome. The Yeowomen carried that momentum into the third, opening up a 9-1 lead before grabbing a 2-1 match advantage. 

The fourth set was a different story as Oberlin got off to a slow start and trailed 14-10 at the midway point. The Panthers later led 22-17 and appeared to be destined to force a fifth set but the Yeowomen had other ideas. 

A 6-0 Oberlin burst that featured a pair of kills from Hall had the Yeowomen out in front by one, 23-22. However, Oberlin was later facing set point but back-to-back kills from Kaya extended the match and it was Dufour who ultimately ended with two straight finishes of her own. 

No stats were readily available for the match against Geneva. 

Oberlin returns home to host Allegheny on Tuesday night at 7 p.m.
