ROMEOVILLE, Illinois - The Bryant women's volleyball team opened
the 2007 season Friday afternoon with a 3-0 loss to Saint Joseph's
(IN) at the Lewis University Flyer Festival. Game scores were
30-19, 30-20, 30-18. In only the team's first outing of the season,
the Bulldogs hit just .043 offensively against a Saint Joseph squad
that was playing its seventh match of the year.
Monika Sattler paced the Bulldogs offensively with seven kills
and added three digs while sophomore Julie Geonnotti (St. Louis
Park, Minn.) added six kills. Sattler, a junior outside
hitter from Gruenwald, Germany, hit .143 on 21 swings.
Geonnotti, a sophomore, had just three errors on 23 attempts and
chipped in with six digs defensively.
Sophomore Morgan Wood (Cedar Park, TX) had three blocks, two of
which were solo while senior setter Tiffany Garry (Frankfort, Ill.)
added 22 assists.
Sara Cramer paced Saint Joseph's (5-2) with 14 kills.
In the second match, Bryant (0-2) dropped a 3-0 decision to
Southern Indiana, falling 30-21, 30-16, 30-27. The Bulldogs
struggled to find the groove offensively in the first two games,
combining for just 14 kills as a team, but rebounded to play very
well in the third set, hitting .182 with 14 kills before falling
30-27.
Senior Likicia Grceva (Natick, Mass.) had seven kills to pace
the Bryant attack while Sattler added six and Wood chipped in with
five kills to go with three blocks. Freshman middle Caitlyn
Kogge (Enfield, Conn.) had a team-best four blocks including two
solo. Garry finished with 25 assists.

against Wisconsin Parkside and host Lewis University. The
team will open Northeast-10 Conference play Wednesday at American
