BOSTON — The Northeastern volleyball team (6-16, 4-10 CAA) will host William & Mary (9-14, 5-9 CAA) for its final two home matches of the season on Saturday, Nov. 14 and Sunday, Nov. 15.
Both matches will begin at 2 p.m. and will stream live on FloCollege from the Cabot Center, and Sunday's match will air on NESN. Saturday's match will serve as the Huskies' Alumni Game, while Sunday's will celebrate Northeastern's three graduating seniors.
THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
- ALUMNI WEEKEND & SENIOR DAY: The Huskies will close out their home schedule with a special weekend of recognition and celebration. Saturday's Alumni Game will welcome back former Northeastern volleyball players, recognizing the program's alumni in attendance. On Sunday, the Huskies will celebrate their three seniors, Iris Canko, Kaylin Daniels and Beatrice Gennari, in their final home matches.
- CELEBRATING OUR SENIORS: Each of Northeastern's three seniors has made important contributions to the program throughout their careers. Canko recorded a season-high 21 digs against Colgate on Sept. 11 and currently has 159 digs on the season. Daniels has tallied 74 kills this year, bringing her career total to 216 kills and 318.0 career points. Gennari has recorded 95 blocks and a .399 hitting percentage, the latter of which ranks 26th in NCAA DI and 2nd in the CAA. She also posted a season-high 12 blocks against Colgate on Sept. 11.
- ONE LAST PUSH: The Huskies have shown their ability to compete in close matches throughout the season, with four losses coming down to five points or fewer in the fifth and final set. Northeastern came out on top of the weekend series against Hampton in their most recent matches, winning 3-1 on both days. Freshman Bryce Leatherwood earned CAA Co-Rookie of the Week honors after hitting .536 and scoring 21.5 points over the two matches. With that, the Huskies enter the final weekend with momentum and an opportunity to finish the season strong.
As the Huskies take the court for the final time this season, they look to make their last home weekend one to remember while celebrating the teammates, alumni and community who have helped make this season special.
