The SUNY Oneonta volleyball team came through with a 2-2 record at the final SUNYAC East Division pool play weekend hosted by New Paltz to finish 3-5 overall in conference matches.  Oneonta (18-12) finished tied for third place with SUNY Potsdam, which means the two teams have to play a play-in game at Buffalo State to qualify for the SUNYAC tournament on Friday, Nov. 2 at noon.  Buffalo won the West Division and earned the right to host to conference tournament.

In today's first match versus SUNY Potsdam, Oneonta won 3-1 (25-17, 24-26, 25-21, 25-19).  This match tied the two teams with one match remaining for both.  Both squads lost their matches to end in a tie for the final playoff spot, thus the reason for the play-in.

Senior Kacy Boburka (Binghamton/Chenango Valley) led three players in double figure kills with 18.  She also had eight digs and two blocks.  Junior Erica Darpino (Endicott/Union-Endicott) had 14 kills and a pair of blocks.  Senior Brittany Calvello (Gloversville/Broadalbin-Perth) recorded her sixth triple double of the season with 10 kills, 21 assists and 15 digs.

Versus Plattsburgh, Boburka was tops again with 12 kills to go with 10 digs.  Calvello had 17 assists, five aces, five blocks and 16 digs.  Junior Kristina Pelaccio (Verplanck/Hendrick Hudson) led the defensive effort with 19 digs.

Oneonta will finish the regular season this week at home with three matches beginning this Thursday, Oct. 25 versus Hartwick in the Presidential Match.  The match begins at 7pm in the Dewar Arena of the Alumni Field House.
