Iona VB Earns MAAC Road Win at Siena

LOUDONVILLE, NY - The Iona University volleyball team snapped a three-game skid in a four-set win at Siena in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play at the UHY Center. Sophomore Mackenzie Wiggins led the Maroon & Gold with a 20-kill effort in the win.

SET 1 (IONA 25, SIENA 18)

Down 13-12, Iona scored five straight points to open a 17-13 advantage it would not relinquish. Wiggins had six kills and senior Hope Matschner posted nine digs to lead the Gaels.

SET 2 (SIENA 25, IONA 16)

The Saints opened an eight point advantage at 16-8 with a 5-0 run and led by as many as 10 in the second set to even the match at 1-1. Wiggins added another four kills.

SET 3 (IONA 25, SIENA 19)

Iona rebounded with four straight points to start the third but saw the lead evaporate while as Siena took an 8-7 lead. With the score tied at 9-9, Iona went on a 5-0 run to build a cushion. The Saints closed within two at 19-17 before the Maroon & Gold closed it out with six of the final eight points.
