The Ithaca College volleyball team earned its fifth shutout of the season in a win against the Hartwick College Hawks on Oct. 7 in Ben Light Gymnasium, adding to a winning streak of eight games. Junior setter Wesley Slavin also recorded a milestone achievement of 2000 assists during the match. 

The fall sports season requires many hours of focus and hard work with strong training over the summer months. For Ithaca College junior Maddie Cox, volleyball setter, her summer training was unconventional. Instead of honing her skills on the court, Cox underwent intense cadet training.

From the Atlantic to Pacific, the Ithaca College women’s volleyball team comes to the Finger Lakes region from across the country. Only two players on the 2023 roster are from New York State, and only four from the Northeast.
