Mitchell, Fleck End Year with Top-Five Single-Season Marks

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The College of Wooster volleyball team concluded its season on Saturday evening at Case Western Reserve University, where the 13th-ranked Spartans topped the Fighting Scots 25-17, 25-19, 25-13.

Senior Amelia Mitchell and sophomore Emma Fleck concluded the year with top-five single-season marks for the current scoring era. Mitchell's came from 46 aces, which were four shy of KateLynn Riley's 50 from the 2008 season and are the third-most by a Scot in a season since then. Fleck passed out 889 assists, the fifth-most over the last 17 seasons.

Mitchell emerged as Wooster's (12-18) early leader in set one, putting home five kills on nine swings in the career finale. One of Mitchell's set-one kills was followed by a kill from junior Izzy Cozzie, which tied the frame at 10. Sophomore Jordan Laraway pulled the Scots within 18-14 on a kill, but four was as close as Wooster came to CWRU (23-5) down the stretch.

Wooster led as late as 15-14 in set two, thanks to another Mitchell kill. The senior was at nine kills following the second frame. CWRU went on a 5-0 run following Wooster's 15-14 lead. Senior Lucy Kinser's late ace had Wooster within 20-18.

Kills from sophomore Kora Burill and senior Olivia Kitchen had Wooster within 6-5 in the third. Wooster's 11 kills in the frame were spread out among six players, with Mitchell leading the Scots with three. First-year Catherine Muzilla kept five rallies going with digs, while sophomore Natalie Hohman added four in the set.

Mitchell's 12 kills were the match-high, as were Kinser's 14 digs. Hohman (13) and senior Tamara Turner (11) ended the season with double-digit dig performances. Turner's six kills followed Mitchell on the stat sheet.

Chloe Maciejewski paced CWRU with 10 kills. The Spartans had eight digs each from Rea Marfatia and Lily Crouch.
