VB: Panthers outlast Gordon, top Framingham State in historic fashion

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – Plymouth State University outlasted Gordon College in a marathon match, then freshman Sya McKay (Somersworth, N.H.) delivered a record-breaking performance against Framingham State University as the Panthers swept a non-conference women's volleyball tri-match at Logan Gymnasium on Saturday.

Junior Annalyn Cahill (Mystic, Conn.) pounded a career-high 17 kills, and graduate student Ella Koelb (Auburn, N.H.) recorded a monster triple-double (22 kills, 32 assists, 17 digs) to lead the Panthers past Gordon, 3-2 (25-23, 25-21, 23-25, 26-28, 15-13).

McKay set program records for solo blocks and total blocks while hitting .500 with 12 kills as Plymouth State downed Framingham State, 3-1 (25-18, 19-25, 25-12, 25-6), to close out the day.

Plymouth State improves to 17-6. Gordon, which defeated the host Rams in the opening match, moves to 16-8, while Framingham State falls to 14-11.
