Chelly is still crunchin’ the volleyball.

Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott offered up another strong performance Saturday, racking up nine kills, seven digs, and a team-high three service aces during a tense four-set thriller.

Unfortunately, her heroics were not enough to save Medaille College, which fell 26-24, 25-21, 25-27, 25-15 to visiting La Roche University.

The loss drops the Mavericks to 1-2 in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play, 4-10 overall.

Medaille gets back at it Tuesday, Oct. 12, when it hosts Alfred State College in another AMCC tilt.

Along with Prescott’s all-around performance, the Mavericks also got strong work from Halle Bogas (13 kills), Haley Kennedy (34 assists), and Cierra Tripp (19 digs).

Prescott has been rock-solid in her freshman year in Buffalo, starting all 14 of her team’s matches and playing in all 45 sets.

The former Wolf has 73 kills, 108 digs, 13 aces, eight assists, one solo block, and six block assists, while scoring 90 points.

She’s #2 on her team in digs, and #3 in kills, aces, and points.

Call her the streak-buster.

Sparked by the play of Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott, the Medaille College volleyball team swept visiting Hilbert College Wednesday in New York.

The 25-8, 25-13, 25-15 win snaps a five-match skid for the Mavericks and lifts them to 1-1 in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play, 4-9 overall.

Medaille will try and make it two straight when its hosts La Roche University (1-1, 4-12) Saturday afternoon.

Prescott, who has adapted to playing a new position in college, having moved from the left side to the right, tallied five kills, three service aces, and a match-high 11 digs.

Teammates Chase Luebeck (11 kills) and Haley Kennedy (27 assists) also filled up the stat sheet for Medaille.

Having played in all 41 of her team’s sets, Prescott has piled up 63 kills, 101 digs, 10 aces, seven assists, six block assists, and one solo block.

The former Wolf standout has accounted for 78 points, third-best on the team.

Damian Lillard, watch your back.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone drained her first three-ball as a pro Saturday, part of a nine-point, eight-rebound performance which helped the Leicester Riders remain undefeated in Women’s British Basketball League action.

Coming off three straight wins in the WBBL Cup, the Riders opened regular-season play against the Nottingham Wildcats, and escaped with a 55-53 win.

Trailing by five points entering the fourth quarter, Leicester went with a unit which included Stone to kick off the final frame, and it paid off.

The former Wolf netted her trey with 8:18 to play, pulling the Riders back within 45-41.

A Stone jumper with 2:18 on the clock slashed the deficit to 50-49, before Chelsea Jennings put the Riders ahead with a layup.

Nottingham responded, though, draining its own three-ball to reclaim the lead, before Leicester gunner Hannah Robb knotted the game at 53-53 with just 34 seconds to play.

The Wildcats had a chance to win the game, but clanked their final shot, then committed the cardinal sin of fouling Leicester’s Anna Lappenkuper at the buzzer.

The Rider guard drained both free throws to cap the wild come-from-behind road win, lifting Leicester to 1-0, or 4-0 — depending on how you want to look at it.

Stone, who has been getting quality minutes off the bench in her inaugural pro season, has racked up 26 points, 29 rebounds, six assists, and a steal through the first four games.

She’s in there fighting.

Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott racked up six kills and a team-high seven digs Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to lift the Medaille College volleyball team to a win.

The Mavericks lost at Penn State-Altoona in their Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference opener, falling 25-9, 25-19, 25-23.

Medaille is 0-1 in AMCC play, 3-9 overall, while Penn State-Altoona is 1-1, 7-2.

After a long stretch of road matches, Prescott and her teammates head home to Buffalo, New York for their next group.

First up is Hilbert College (0-2 in league, 0-9 overall), which comes to town Oct. 6.

Prescott, a freshman at NCAA D-III Medaille, has played in all 38 of her team’s sets, rolling up 59 kills, 90 digs, seven aces, seven assists, six block assists, and one solo block.

She has 70 points on offense this season, putting her third on a team of nine players.

She hasn’t lost as a pro.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone and the Leicester Riders thunked the Cardiff Met Archers 77-46 Wednesday in Women’s British Basketball League action, claiming their third-straight win to open the season.

With the victory, the Riders take top honors in their group at the WBBL Cup and advance to the semifinals, where they’ll square off with the Newcastle Eagles.

The London Lions and Sheffield Hatters play in the other half of the draw, with both games to be played at a still-to-be-determined date.

Leicester is the defending WBBL Cup champs, though this is Stone’s first go-around in the event.

The former Wolf came off the bench Wednesday to pile up five points, six rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 20.5 minutes of action.

Stone played the most of any Riders bench player.

Using a stifling defense, Leicester jumped all over Cardiff Met, turning a string of turnovers into quick buckets as it jumped out to a 25-8 lead by the first break.

The Riders took a slight step back in the second frame, but still led 39-24 at the half, before shoving things back out to 54-32 heading into the fourth.

Leicester put five players into double-digit scoring in the rout, with Louise Rouse and Brooklynn Mcalear-Fanus pacing the Riders with 14 points apiece.

Through three pro games, Stone has racked up 17 points, 21 rebounds, five assists, and a steal.

With a break in WBBL Cup action, Leicester opens the regular season Oct. 2, when it plays the Nottingham Wildcats.
