It took exactly one hour and three straight sets for the Utica College Pioneers to put away the Cazenovia College women's volleyball team Monday evening in non-conference action at the Stephen M. Schneeweiss Athletic Complex.

The Pioneers won the match by scores of 25-7, 25-16 and 25-18 and are now 8-7 overall with the win. Cazenovia fell to 4-6 with the loss.

Chloe Pierce (Toronto, Ontario, Canada/Richview) led the offensive attack for Utica with 11 kills, followed by Alyssa Sadallah's (New Hartford, NY/New York Mills) six. Miranda Austin (Castorland, NY/Beaver River) was successful in setting up her teammates to the tune of 24 assists on the night and also recorded two blocks. Melissa Austin (Castorland, NY/Beaver River) registered 10 digs to pace the Pioneers defense.

The Wildcats started sluggish and continued to struggle throughout the match, totaling just nine kills as a team and committing 23 attack errors. Four different players had two kills on offense, including sophomore Lauren Harder (Oneonta, NY/Oneonta) who also had a team-high nine digs.

Cazenovia is at Skidmore College on Wednesday in another non-league match, while Utica is home against Oswego State on the same day.
