ORANGE, Calif. – The Chapman University volleyball team suffered its fourth loss in a row as No. 11 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps swept the Panthers on Homecoming. Sophomore Alex Corcoran led the Panthers (7-7, 4-4 SCIAC) with nine total blocks.

Despite being swept, Chapman outblocked the Athenas (14-4, 4-2 SCIAC) 9-7 with Corcoran getting her hands on all nine. She tallied three solo stuffs in the match and had six block assists.

The Panthers fell in a sizeable hole in the first set but battled back to within four points as late as 21-17. The Athenas were able to pull away late to avoid the upset start. The second and third sets were much closer early on but the Athenas ultimately proved to have too much fire power as they hit .288 for the match. Crystal Anderson had 10 kills with a .429 hitting percentage while Nicole Kerkhof led everyone with 12 kills.

Junior Jade Santos had a match-high of 15 digs for Chapman while sophomore Kylie Cooke led the Panthers offensively with seven kills.

Chapman heads back out on the road next week and will next face Occidental on Tuesday.
