BOSTON, Mass. – The Wentworth Institute of Technology women's volleyball team swept the Clark University Cougars by scores of 25-12, 25-18, and 25-15 on Thursday night at Tansey Gymnasium.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Wentworth jumped out to an 8-2 lead behind four kills from Emma Sanders. The Leopards dominated early on and stretched the lead to 15-6 after an attack error by the Cougars. Clark answered with an ace to cut the lead to seven, but another run by the Leopards put the first set out of reach. Another kill from Sanders and an attack error gave Wentworth the win in set one.
• The second set saw the hosts take a 6-0 lead, with Sanders and Kate McLane picking up kills while Amanda Zweifler added an ace. After Wentworth pushed the lead to 12-5, Clark answered with a 4-1 run to make it a four-point game. Two attack errors restored the Leopards' eight-point advantage. Clark made a late run with kills from Isabella Smith and Isabella Alcott, but another kill from McLane and an attack error gave Wentworth the victory in set two.
• McLane and Sanders combined for three kills in the third set to give Wentworth another early lead. Riley Schoonmaker tallied three kills to cut off a run by Clark, stretching the lead back to four points. Sydnee Smith's ace and McLane's kill put the Leopards at the 20-point mark, putting the win within reach. Alcott tallied two kills late in the set, but back-to-back kills from Sanders and Schoonmaker gave Wentworth the set and the win.
