Potsdam, N.Y. — A team-high 18 kills from Holly Bubb helped the Elizabethtown College volleyball team outlast host Clarkson University 3-2 (23-25, 25-18, 21-25, 25-22, 15-12) on the final day of the Clarkson Invitational on Saturday.

The Blue Jays (15-8) and the Golden Knights (18-5) took turns winning the first four games. The match came down the fifth game where the Blue Jays were able to squeeze out a 15-12 win, thanks to the team's eight kills and 14 attemps in the decisive game.

Bubb, who finished with two solo blocks, while assisting on four others, was named to the All-Tournament team. Kelsey Hayes also had a good day, converting 14 kills on 23 attacks for a .609 percentage. Hayes had two solo blocks of her own, as well as helping out on four others.

Crystal Agnew dished out 48 of the Blue Jays' 49 assists on the night. Defensively, Katie Gantz led the way with 23 digs, while Carolyn Lukiewski chipped in with 21 digs.

As a team, the Blue Jays committed just 16 attacking errors to the Golden Knights' 25.
