SMITHFIELD, R.I. -- In a match led by 13 kills from freshman
Hilary Andrews (Tipp City, Ohio), the Bryant
University volleyball team got head coach Theresa
Garlacy her 350th career victory, topping
Northeast Conference opponent Wagner College, 3-0, Friday
night at the Crusader Classic in Worcester, Mass. The victory is
the sixth in the Bulldogs' young Division I debut season.
Andrews's 13 kills were compliments by seven digs and a block
assist, while sophomore Adrienne Boss (Dracut,
Mass.) and frosh Jazmin Stoner (Durango,
Colo.) each added six kills of their own. Fellow rookie
Maria Scocca (Melrose, Mass.) also had a big day
en route to Garlacy's coaching milestone, registering five kills
with five digs, two service aces and five total blocks (1 BS, 4
BA).The Bulldogs move to an impressive 6-2 with the win,
while Wagner falls to 2-3 on the year.
Now in her 13th season at the helm of the Bulldog volleyball
team, Garlacy left the Division II ranks as the 26th
most-winningest active coach (344 victories) and as No. 24 among
active coaches in winning percentage. She also is the 17th
most-winningest coach all-time in Division II by win percentage
(min. 10 years).
Now, she leads her Bulldogs as they make a mark in Division I.
During her career, the Smithfield, R.I. native and 1988 graduate
of Providence College has led the Bulldogs to nine-straight
NCAA Division II tournament appearances, winning four Northeast-10
Conference championships and one ECAC Championship along the
way.
