VB: Stogner powers Panthers past Norwich

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Sophomore Lilli Stogner (Weare, N.H.) slammed down a match-high 12 kills to lead Plymouth State University to a 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-18) win over Norwich University in a non-conference women's volleyball match at Foley Gymnasium on Wednesday night.

Freshman Ava Duymazlar (Meredith, N.H.) served five straight points to turn a close game into a seven-point lead for the Panthers in set one. PSU would cruise to a 25-14 win.

The Panthers held a 13-11 lead midway through the middle stanza, before Duymazlar again sparked the home team with a long service run. Stogner smashed multiple kills during the spurt and PSU would take the second set, 25-18.

Norwich stayed close in the first half of the third set, but back-to-back kills by junior Aynslee King (Anacortes, Wash.) sparked a 7-1 surge. The Cadets would pull to within 22-18 late, but junior Nora Ryan (Groton, Conn.) took over with consecutive kills and a match-winning block to wrap up the win.

Plymouth State improves to 4-2, while the Cadets drop to 4-3.

Senior Natalie Gravelle (Portsmouth, N.H.) got PSU off to a good start with a kill to start set two and three Cadets' errors made it 4-0 early.
