CANTON -- The SUNY Canton women’s volleyball team beat Utica College 3-0 on Saturday in their first game of a tri-match and then saw a rally fall short in a 2-3 loss to Oswego State later in the evening.

The Roos (10-8), ranked 9th in the USCAA and winners of five of their last seven matches, beat Utica 25-18, 25-7 and 25-19 behind 26 assists, five kills and three digs from Mackenzie Mynter (Churchville, N.Y.).

Jessica Reynolds (Oakville, Ontario) collected seven kills, four aces and four digs. Abbey Shoen (Waddington, N.Y.) also had seven kills and four digs, and Heather Byron (Merrill, N.Y.) came up with five digs.

The Roos took the first set against Oswego winning 25-16.

The Lakers bounced back and took the next two sets 25-18 and 25-22.

The fourth set went back and forth and late in the game with the Roos holding on to a slim two-point lead, Marie Mason (Pulaski, N.Y.) came up with several outstanding defensive plays to keep the Roos alive.

After several terrific volleys and the Roos on game point, Reynolds buried a hard kill to force the decisive fifth set as the Roos won 25-23.

SUNY Canton fell behind early in the final set and this time could not pull out another rally losing 5-15.

Mynter had 19 more assists along with 12 kills and two digs in the nightcap. Most of her assists went to Reynolds who finished with 15 kills.

Shoen and Shiloh Bourgeois (Keesville, N.Y.) each had six kills and Shoen also notched five digs.

The Roos hit the road for the next couple of weeks starting next weekend when they’ll play in the Oswego State Tournament October 7-8.
