ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Nov. 7, 2015) - In the first of back-to-back matches over the weekend, the LIU Post volleyball team overwhelmed Roberts Wesleyan College, 3-0 (25-13, 25-12, 25-13), in East Coast Conference action Saturday at the Voller Athletic Center.

The Pioneers (19-8, 7-5 ECC) hit at a .304 clip for the match, while holding the Redhawks (2-21, 2-12 ECC) to a minuscule .035 attack percentage.

Freshman outside hitter Rachel Londot (Utica, Ohio) earned her 12th double-double of the year (first since Oct. 17) with 12 kills and 14 digs, in addition to boasting a .500 hitting percentage. Senior setter/right-side hitter Monica Amador (Cedar Park, Texas) amassed 11 kills, three service aces and two blocks. Sophomore outside/middle/right-side hitter Danielle Valenza (Hauppauge, N.Y.) chipped in seven kills, six digs and two blocks.

Tied 6-6 in the first set, LIU Post went on an 11-4 run to grab a 17-10 lead. Valenza notched two kills in the spurt. Amador and freshman setter Giulia Genna (Civitella San Paolo, Italy), who allocated a match-high 29 assists, each served an ace.

Later in the game, the Pioneers still owned a seven-point cushion (20-13), until they pulled away with five straight points, capped by a Valenza and Taryn McCullouch (Buena Park, Calif.) block, to take the set by a 25-13 count.

The green and gold led from the start in the second set and never looked back. Holding a slight 11-8 edge, LIU Post rolled off an 8-2 burst to widen its lead to 19-10, forcing a Roberts Wesleyan timeout.

Londot had three kills in the run, while Genna and freshman setter/right-side hitter Fiona Marziello (Haddonfield, N.J.) both served aces. The Pioneers eventually won the game 25-12 on an ace from senior libero Rachel Ringor (Honolulu, Hawaii).

Up 9-8 in the third set, LIU Post scored five of the next six points, making it a 14-9 game. Amador and Valenza combined for three kills in that stretch.

Shortly thereafter, the Pioneers closed out the match with a 9-1 run to earn a 25-13 victory. Londot slammed down three kills in the burst, including the clincher. Amador contributed two more service aces in the effort.

Head Coach Shellane Ogoshi and her LIU Post squad return to the court Sunday (Nov. 8), when they face Daemen College in an ECC tilt in Amherst. First serve is slated for 10:30 a.m.
