WASHINGTON - The George Washington volleyball team fell to Dayton, 3-0, on Saturday night in a rematch of last season's Atlantic 10 Championship match at the Charles E. Smith Center. Set scores were 20-25, 11-25, 17-25.
GW (13-7, 3-2 A-10) was unable to get going offensively in the contest, hitting a season-low .000 (23k-23e-110a) while Dayton (13-5, 6-0 A-10) hit .290 (45k-16e-100a) in the match and held advantages in service aces (3-2) and digs (53-34).
The first set was the closest of the match as the teams battled through eight ties and five lead changes before Dayton pulled away down the stretch to gain a 25-20 victory. The Colonials started the match on a 4-1 run and held leads of 13-10 and 17-14 in the frame before the Flyers closed on an 11-3 run to clinch the set.
The Flyers swung a match-high .519 with just two attack errors in the second set en route to a 25-11 win. The momentum carried over into the third set as Dayton completed the sweep with a 25-17 victory.
Freshman Kelsey Clark and senior Jordan Timmer shared the team lead with five kills to pace the Colonials. Timmer added 18 assists, six digs and two block assists.
Junior Chidima Osuchukwu paced the Colonials at the net with nine total blocks (one solo, eight assists) while junior Maddy Doyle tallied a match-high tying 13 digs.
The Colonials return to action next weekend with a road trip through Pennsylvania. GW will visit La Salle on Friday night (7 p.m.) before traveling to Pittsburgh to face Duquesne (Sunday, 1 p.m.).
