DANBURY, Conn. - Junior outside hitter Julia Stoliker (Red Hook, N.Y.) ripped a match-high 15 kills and senior setter Maggie Ferguson (Southbury, Conn.) earned match-high's of 31 assists and five service aces to lift the Western Connecticut State University women's volleyball squad to a 3-0 (25-21, 25-13, 25-8) shutout victory over visiting Little East Conference opponent Rhode Island College on Saturday afternoon on Senior Day at Feldman Arena.

With the win, the Wolves upped their record to 17-6 overall and 3-3 in league play, while the Anchorwomen sank to 11-13 and 1-6. 

It was all WestConn wire-to-wire as they erupted to snag a 19-9 opening set advantage when Stoliker connected on an ace to the hardwood. The hosts would eventually move ahead 22-13 before RIC mounted a comeback attempt, reeling off a 7-1 run, slicing the gap to 24-21. However, senior Delia Clouden (Newtown, Conn.) put the rally to rest when she cemented the game-winning floor for the Wolves to wrap up the first stanza. 

That seemed to take the wind out of the sails of the Anchorwomen. The Wolves proceeded to dominate the second and third sets en route to the win. Seniors Jersey Jones (Middletown, N.Y.) and Sydney Slupatchuk (New Milford, Conn.) chipped in with 13 and 12 digs, respectively. 

WestConn concludes the regular season slate with a non-conference home match against the University of St. Joseph before the finale at LEC nemesis Keene State on Saturday. The postseason championship tournament begins shortly thereafter.
