Another milestone.
After opening her college volleyball career with 10 straight three-set matches, Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott got to play Saturday in a five-set thriller.
And it was a doozy.
Prescott and her Medaille College teammates had match point in the fourth set, thanks to a thunderous kill by the former Wolf, but couldn’t hang on, falling to host Wells College.
The 19-25, 25-20, 22-25, 32-30, 15-11 loss drops the Mavericks to 3-8 on the season.
Up two sets to one, Medaille claimed a 30-29 lead in the fourth frame after Prescott swatted a winner, only to see Wells escape by scoring the final three points of the set.
Forget about sets and just count the points, and it was still an amazingly close match, with Wells edging Medaille 113-111.
Prescott finished with nine kills, three assists, and 11 digs on the day, while Maverick teammates Halle Bogas (17 kills) and Haley Kennedy (38 assists) also filled up the stat sheet.
During her freshman season of NCAA D-III volleyball, Prescott has played in all 35 sets, racking up 53 kills, 83 digs, seven service aces, seven assists, a solo block, and six block assists.
Medaille returns to action Oct. 2, when it travels to Penn State-Altoona to open Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play.
