RADNOR, PA – The Cabrini volleyball team saw its four match win streak come to an end, as the Cavaliers suffered a 3-0 loss to Franklin & Marshall tonight at Nerney Field House.

The 25-18, 25-21, 25-23 nonconference loss dropped the Blue and White to 20-9 on the season.

Sophomore Steph Judkins paced the Cabrini attack with 15 kills, while freshman Marie Hamilton added a career best seven kills. Fellow rookie Hannah Dalton and junior Katrina Shelley chipped in with five kills each.

Senior Emily Shannon posted a double-double, pairing 14 assists and 14 digs, while rookie Amelia Ballard just missed the mark with 19 helpers and nine digs.

Senior Ashley Shannon matched Emily Shannon with 14 digs, while Shelly added nine digs to her stat line.

The Diplomats built a slim lead early in the opening set and pushed its lead to 14-8. The Cavaliers slowly chipped away at its deficit, pulling to within 19-18 on an Ashley Shannon ace. Cabrini could not pull even, as F&M recorded the final six points of the set.

The second set played much like the first, as F&M used a 5-0 run early in the set to build a 10-6 lead. The Blue and White slowly erased the deficit and kept the match within 2-4 points, but could not find the combination to pull even.

Much like the first two sets, the Cavaliers fell behind early and were forced to play catch-up. Unlike the first two frames, the Blue and White pulled even at 20-20 on a Judkins kill. The Diplomats responded by taking a 23-21 lead, but back to back kills by Judkins and Shelly leveled the score again, but F&M Senior Barbara Kaputsin closed the match with consecutive kills.

Junior Grace Polisano led the Diplomats(22-6) with 11 kills and 16 digs, while Kaputsin finished with 10 kills. Sophomore Grace Maggiore directed the attack to the tune of 34 assists.

The Cavaliers will close their regular season on Saturday, as they celebrate Senior Day with a visit from Rowan University. First set is slated for 2pm at Nerney Field House.
