Worcester, Mass. – Powered by 10 kills from senior Sarah Lang-Rodean and nine more from reigning NEWMAC player of the week Kim Giaquinto, visiting Springfield College rolled to a decisive 3-0 (25-13, 25-11, 25-16) win over host Clark University in women's volleyball action on Tuesday evening.

With the victory the Pride, who are receiving votes in the most recent release of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll, improve to 10-1 overall and 3-0 in league play.

The Cougars, meanwhile, have dropped four straight since winning the Worcester City Championship back on September 12. Clark's record stands at 3-5 overall and 0-3 in NEWMAC play.

Springfield raced out to early leads in each game buoyed by strong play at the net from several players including junior Lauren Torvi.

After capturing game one, the Pride found themselves tied at 5-5 in the second game before registering 15 of the next 17 points to take a commanding 20-7 lead before settling for a 25-13 win.

Game three proved to be the night's closest game before Springfield went on one of its patented runs to build up a comfortable lead and take the game and the match, 25-16.

The Cougars were paced by Kristin McGinty (Vail, Colo.), who totaled a team-best five kills and Amira Tranchell (Falmouth, Mass.) who ended with four.

Emily Corbett (Strath Haven, Pa.) paced the Clark defensive attack with a team-high nine digs.

Springfield will return to action Friday with a pair of matches against Endicott and Colby, while Scarlet and White will look to snap their losing streak with a non-conference affair against Roger Williams on Thursday.
