NASHUA, N.H. - Sophomore \#Jeremy Siden\# (Natick, Mass.) notched a team high 12 kills and \#Jeremy Schlosser\# (Emmaus, Penn.) dished out 28 assists guiding sixth-ranked Endicott College past host Daniel Webster, 3-0 in a North East Collegiate Volleyball Association New England division matchup Thursday night at Mario Vagge Gymnasium.
11 different Gulls registered at least one kill as Endicott (19-5, 9-1 NECVA) won for the 13th time in their last 14 outings with game scores of 30-16, 30-18 and 30-24.
Sophomore Chris Shannon (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) led the second-year Eagles (5-8, 5-6 NECVA) with a solid 12 kills against one error to hit .407 while Eric Smith (Clay, N.Y.) handed out nine assists adding four kills and five digs.
Kyle Clement (Weymouth, Mass.) added eight assists for DWC, while Andrew Smith (Essex Junction, Vt.) notched nine digs. David Miller (Eldersburg, Md.) added three total blocks.
\#James Sliva\# (Monroe, Conn.) and \#Joshua Bruno\# (Andover, Mass.) chipped in with seven kills each for the Gulls, while \#David Olson\# (Chelmsford, Mass.) had nine digs.
In the opener, Endicott led 5-4 early before pulling away backed by two kills from \#A.J. Witkofsky\# (Scotia, N.Y.) and \#John Emery\# (Westford, Mass.) to open up a 10-4 lead and the Gulls led by as many as 11 (22-11) before a \#Zeke Kubisch\# (Bethlehem, N.Y.) kill later closed out the 30-16 win.
After dropping game two, the Eagles hung close in the third, jumping out to a 5-1 lead on a Shannon kill and led 6-2 before Endicott answered with six straight punctuated by a Bruno kill for an 8-6 lead.
Tied at 10, the Gulls fleshed the lead out to 13-10 on a Bruno ace but the Eagles would close to within two (17-15) on a Shannon kill.
But back-to-back kills from Bruno and Siden helped open a six-point lead at 23-17 and the Eagles pulled no closer than six the rest of the way.
The Eagles host their second nationally ranked opponent in as many days Friday night as 13th ranked MIT visits Mario Vagge Gymnasium in a NECVA divisional matchup at 7:00 p.m.
Endicott is off until next Thursday when they visit Southern Vermont College in a divisional matchup beginning at 6:00 p.m.
