Hoyas Defeat NJIT and Delaware State in Undefeated Tournament Run

 
WASHINGTON –  Georgetown women's volleyball team won both games at the Delaware State Tournament on Saturday, defeating NJIT 3-0 (28-26, 25-17, 25-19) and edging Delaware St 3-2 (22-25, 25-19, 25-23, 28-30, 15-10). With their 3-0 victory over Penn on Friday, the Hoyas finish 3-0 in the Tournament and move to 9-6 on the season. 

"Really gritty win against a very tough matchup for us." said Head Coach AJ Bonetti. "Tons of credit to Delaware State, they played their tails off, but I love the way our team pushed through another tough environment and showed how much resilience we have gained during this pre-conference schedule. We are excited to head into Big East next week!" 

"I'm really proud of the way we showed up today," said freshman setter Emily Wen. "Finishing out the weekend in this way against such a good team really helped us in our journey of defining who we are. I'm very grateful for the opportunities we have been given thus far and this win definitely gave us some of the confidence we needed heading into the Big East!
