DELAND, FLA. -- The Wofford women’s volleyball team rebounded on day two of the Clarion Invitational hosted by Stetson University with two wins against Bethune-Cookman (25-9, 25-19, 25-17) and against host Stetson (20-25, 25-22, 25-9, 25-22) Saturday.

Catelyn Amende, who was named to the all-tournament team, had 27 kills and seven total blocks for the Terriers.  The two wins gave head coach Corey Helle his 100th and 101st career coaching wins.  Helle reached the milestone in his ninth season with the Terriers.

In match one against Bethune-Cookman, Wofford took an early 9-2 lead and never looked back as they went on to win the set 25-9.  The Terriers hit .269 while holding the Wildcats to a -.219 hitting percentage.

With the score tied at five in the second set, Amanda Liguori started a four-point run for the Terriers with a kill.  Two Wildcat attack errors and an ace by Tara Gough completed the run for the Terriers. Wofford never let the Bethune-Cookman closer than three points as Stacy Bryd and Liguori had three kills a piece help give the Terriers a 25-19.

Set three was much of the same story as a kill by Byrd tied the set at four followed by four Wildcat attack errors and kills by Arden Anderson and Byrd gave the Terriers an 8-4 lead.  Wofford maintained the lead to seal the set, 25-22, and the match.

Liguori finished the match with eight kills and Byrd tallied six kills.  Bekah Doresy recorded 13 assists and ten digs, while Reagan Styles led the Terriers with 13 digs.  Wofford finished with ten total team blocks.  Anderson and Wendy Burnett had six block assists a piece.

In match two against host Stetson, Wofford dropped the first set 20-25.  The Terriers started off with a 4-1 lead, but saw it slip away as the Hatters battled back to tie the match at 13.  Wofford again pushed the lead to 17-14, but couldn’t seal the set as Stetson tied the match at 18.  With the set tied at 19, Stetson ended the match on a 6-1 run to win 25-20.

Set two again saw the Terriers jump out to a 4-1 lead only to relinquish it as Stetson tied it at seven.  Wofford would pull ahead only to see Stetson tie the match up a few points later.  With the match tied at 20, the Terriers used a Hatter service error followed by a block by Amende and Liguori forced a time out.  After the time out both teams made attack errors before two Burnett kills gave Wofford the 25-22 win.

In set three, Wofford took an early 10-2 lead and finished the match with a 25-9 win.  Amende had five kills on seven attempts with no errors as the Terriers hit .545 in the third set win.

With a match win in sight, the Terriers clinched set four with a 25-22 win.  Wofford led the entire set extending the lead to as many as nine points before winning the set by three. 

Amende had 12 kills and a .375 hitting percentage for Wofford.  She was responsible for 17 total points in the match with three aces, a solo block and two block assists to go along with her 12 kills. Dorsey handed out 22 assists and Tara Gough recorded 15 assists. Styles pulled up 20 digs as three other Terriers had double-digit digs--Byrd had 12 digs, Liguori had 11 digs and Doresy had 10 digs.

Wofford improves to 6-3 on the season and will return to action September 10th at 7 p.m. against Gardner-Webb in the Runnin’ Bulldog Classic.
