Isaksen Hits 3000 Dig Mark, Knights Fall in Five at RIT

Rochester, NY – Senior Kate Isaksen became only the ninth player in NCAA Division III history to record 3000 career digs, but she did so in a loss as the Clarkson University Volleyball team lost a five-set match to RIT (17-25, 25-23, 25-18, 14-25, 15-11) on Saturday afternoon.

The Golden Knights saw their 10-match winning streak come to an end, falling to 21-4 overall and 6-1 in the Liberty League, while RIT moved to 17-9 overall and 5-2 in conference matchups. Clarkson will close out the regular season next weekend in the Brockport Tournament, taking on the host team Brockport, Keuka and St. John Fisher.

The Green and Gold will play host to the Liberty League Tournament on November 8-9, facing Route 11 rival St. Lawrence University in the opening round. Ithaca earned the second seed and RIT will play as the third seed.

Clarkson came out hot in the first set, battering RIT to the tune of a .393 hitting percentage (14-3-28), but the Knights struggled offensively in the second set (13-9-37, .087) and third set (9-6-38, .079) before righting the ship in the fourth set. RIT won the sprint to 15 points in the fifth set as both teams hit solidly throughout the final game. Clarkson hit just .156 over the final four sets of the match and the Tigers did just enough, hitting .217 over the final four games.

Isaksen recorded 28 digs overall, surpassing the 3000 mark in the fourth set of the match. She is the first player to reach 3000 digs playing entirely in the 25-points per set era and the first to top the figure since 2009.

Four players finished in double figures in kills for the Knights as senior Maddie Bredehoeft recorded 15 kills and was closely followed by junior Gillian Kurtic's 14 kills. Rachel Reusch added 13 kills and three block assists and Kristin Werdine produced a double-double on 10 kills and 11 digs. Isabelle Crow also chipped in 46 assists, 14 digs and three block assists.

For RIT, Katie Hobler scored 20 kills with three block assists and Taylor Higgins added 18 kills and 18 digs. Joelle Marston also notched 15 kills and three block assists and Sasha Mekker produced 49 assists and 20 digs.
