HOUGHTON, N.Y. - The Cortland women's volleyball team defeated host Houghton College in four sets and lost a thrilling five-set match to Geneva College to wrap up its 2018 season.

Taylor Konzen (Bohemia/Connetquot) ended with eight kills, Bridgette Moran (Massapequa Park/St. John the Baptist) added seven kills, three aces and two blocks, and Gabby Amelio (Pine Bush) totaled 28 assists and six digs.

Camryn Anderson (Bronx/Cardinal Spellman) and Nadia Moore (Durham, NC/Durham School of the Arts) shared the team lead with three blocks each. Moore also served a career-high six of Cortland's 17 aces. Kiersten Cote (East Rockaway/Kellenberg Memorial) led the team with 12 digs, followed by Moore and Emilee Chiavetta (Angola/Immaculata Academy) with seven apiece.

Amber Edwards led Houghton (11-18) with 13 kills and a .346 attack percentage and shared the team lead with 11 digs. Ally Bittinger had 10 kills and 10 digs and Haley Unverdorben totaled 28 assists.

Geneva won a marathon match over Cortland to end the afternoon, 27-25, 20-25, 25-19, 32-34, 15-11. Moore led Cortland in the setback with 13 kills and was second with 21 digs.
