HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac volleyball team is set to host its final two matches of the regular season. The Canisius Golden Griffs and Niagara Purple Eagles will come to Hamden on Saturday, Nov. 10 and Sunday, Nov. 11. Both matches are set to begin at 1 p.m., and the team will honor senior Kat Miller for a senior day ceremony before the Canisius match Saturday.
Notes on the Golden Griffs
Canisius stands at 14-11 overall and 12-4 in conference for the 2018 season. The Golden Griffs are second in the MAAC after Iona and have gone 8-2 through the month of October. The first and second place teams met on Oct. 28 with Iona winning 3-0.
Canisius leads the MAAC with a team hitting percentage of .248 and is ranked second averaging 13.44 kills per set. Camila Vazquez ranks first overall for the MAAC with a .352 hitting percentage, and Sofia Lopez leads the MAAC on defense with a 5.36 digs per set average.
Scouting the Purple Eagles
Niagara is fifth in the conference standings, right above Quinnipiac. The Purple Eagles have a 9-7 conference record and are 9-16 overall. They are coming off a win against Manhattan and a loss against Canisius. The Purple Eagles are ranked fourth in the MAAC with a .188 hitting percentage.
Last Time Out for the Bobcats
Quinnipiac went 1-1 last weekend with a win against Siena and a loss against Marist. Kat Miller led the Bobcats with a double-double in each match. She notched a season-high 25 kills against Siena with 13 digs.
Makeup of the MAAC
Iona plays Marist and Siena this weekend, and if the Gaels win both matches, they will be named the MAAC regular season champions. If Canisius wins both of its matches and Iona loses both, there would be a tie. Iona would win the tiebreaker with Canisius after defeating the Golden Griffs twice this season. Quinnipiac sits in seventh place with a 6-10 conference record.
All 10 teams in the MAAC will compete in the MAAC Tournament in Orlando, Fla., at the Wide World of Sports complex starting on Nov. 16.
