WORCESTER, Mass. — Southern Connecticut State University volleyball hit its most efficient match of the season, sweeping Assumption 3-0 at the Andrew Laska Gym to improve to 13-5 and 2-1 in Northeast-10 play.

Southern Connecticut (13-5, 2-1 NE10) won 25-14, 25-15, 25-18, holding Assumption (5-13, 1-2 NE10) to a .048 hitting percentage while hitting .398 as a team with 40 kills and just seven errors on 83 swings. The victory came in front of 182 fans in Worcester.

The Owls never trailed in the opening set and set the tone with near-flawless offense. Southern Connecticut hit .483 in Set 1 with 16 kills and two errors on 29 attempts, racing to a 25-14 win. Sydney Bennett led the early charge, and Kerrigan Habing punctuated the frame with back-to-back aces to close it.

Bennett finished with a match-high 10 kills on 12 attempts with no errors for an .833 percentage, adding a block for 11 points. Habing totaled seven kills, five aces, seven digs and 12 points. Binning added five kills and two blocks, Katie Bardak hit .714 with five kills, and Mianna Brown and Marisabelle Sias each chipped in three kills.

Mitchell ran the offense with 32 assists, adding eight digs, a block and an ace for 4.5 points. Sarah Henault anchored the back row with 10 digs and three assists, while Alyssa Ferreira had two aces and four digs.

After hitting .483 in the first, Southern Connecticut showed its depth in the second. Even with six lineup changes, the Owls hit .261 and forced Assumption into negative hitting at minus-.208. SCSU jumped to a 5-0 lead behind Victoria Pascual's serve and an ace, and never let the Greyhounds closer than three. Kimi Mitchell orchestrated the offense, while Habing added two more aces and a block from Bennett and Mitchell sealed set point, 25-15.

The third was the most competitive, but Southern Connecticut's serving and balance proved decisive. The Owls hit a match-best .419 in the final frame with 15 kills and two errors on 31 swings, overcoming an early 3-1 deficit. Jaiden Binning, who hit .625 for the match, delivered consecutive kills to turn a 7-7 tie into a 9-7 lead, and Sophia Guzman provided spark off the bench with two kills on three swings.

Statistically, Southern Connecticut dominated every category. The Owls led 54-28 in points, 40-21 in kills, 9-4 in aces, 5-3 in blocks, 39-19 in assists and 39-28 in digs. SCSU also held Assumption to six kills in each of the first two sets and limited Grace Presswood and Kaitlyn Montgomery to six kills apiece.

Southern is back in action on Friday, Oct. 16 when they host Bentley for a NE10 matchup at 5 p.m. at Pelz Gym.
