NEW ROCHELLE, NY - Loyola topped the Iona College volleyball team in three sets in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action at the Hynes Athletics Center.  Junior MB Collen Genett recorded 13 kills and senior Sarah Wiener became the eighth player in school history to record 1,000 kills with her six tallies.

Genett posted a .435 hitting percentage to go along with three blocks.  Sophomore MB Molly O'Shea had seven kills offensively in the loss.

Defensively, junior libero Allison Nieters recorded 19 digs while junior S Alyssa Erickson posted three blocks and had 23 assists.

Wiener became the first player to record 1,000 kills since former teammate and Iona assistant coach Kristin Allain accomplished the feat in 2007.  Wiener stands 37 kills away from Allain in seventh place.

The set scores favored Loyola 25-19, 25-20, 25-23.

Prior to the match, head coach Alan Edwards was honored for his 100th career win.  A feat accomplished last weekend against Saint Peter's.

The Gaels continue action at home next weekend when they host Niagara and Canisius at the Hynes Center.
