Syracuse, N.Y. – Junior outside hitter Natalie Casson (Kingman, Ariz./Kingman) registered 15 kills to lead the Le Moyne College volleyball team to a 3-0 win over Assumption College on Tuesday evening in Northeast-10 Conference action at Ted Grant Court.

With the victory, the Dolphins clinched a berth in the Northeast-10 Conference Championship for the 13th time in 20 years in the league and for the first time since the 2009 season. The Dolphins will be either the fourth or fifth seed. A win in either of their last two matches or a loss by Saint Rose in either of its last two matches gives the Dolphins the fourth seed and the right to host a Northeast-10 Championship match next Tuesday for the first time in their 13 appearances.

The Dolphins opened the match with a 25-14 victory in the first set. After Assumption picked up the first point of the set, Le Moyne tallied 19 of the next 24 to take control. The Greyhounds closed within 23-14 before the Dolphins tallied the last two points.

Le Moyne doubled its lead with a 25-20 win in the second set. After the Greyhounds used a 3-1 spurt to take a 4-3 lead, the Dolphins scored four straight points and 12 of the next 13 to take a 15-5 advantage.  Assumption answered back with a 10-5 run to get within five for the first of five times, but freshman outside hitter Marguerite Dillon (Oswego, N.Y./Oswego) landed a kill to end the set.

The Dolphins put the match away with a 25-16 victory in the third set. The teams went back and forth over the opening 16 points of the set, with the Dolphins holding between a two and four point edge. After Assumption closed within 9-7, Le Moyne used a pair of 3-0 runs around an Assumption point to pull away. Le Moyne's lead bounced between five and seven points before the Dolphins closed out the match with four straight points.

Casson hit .286 en route to her 15 kills, while adding seven digs. Dillon hit .333 on her way to tallying a career-best 11 kills, while posting five digs and two service aces. Sophomore setter Kendall Corcoran (Fort Salonga, N.Y./Kings Park) registered her ninth double-double of the season with 37 assists and 13 digs, while adding a career high-tying four service aces, two kills and two blocks. With her 37 assists, Corcoran moves into 10th place on the program's single-season assists chart with 896. Freshman libero Mikayla Porr (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa) led the Dolphins defensively with 15 digs, while classmate Molly Gallagher (Schenectady, N.Y./Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake) tallied 12 digs. With her 15 digs, Porr moves into fifth place on the program's single-season digs list with 451, the most by a Dolphin since Amanda McClure '06 in 2005.

Olivia Burke hit .421 en route to nine kills to lead the Greyhounds, while Tara Reilly added six kills and four blocks. Kiki Romanik dished out 21 assists to direct the offense, while posting three kills and three digs. Maria Chrisom and Courtney Bagwell led the team defensively with 11 digs each.

Le Moyne (17-7, 7-4 NE-10), which has its highest win total since the 2009 season and is 10 games above .500 for the first time since being 19-9 on October 29, 2005, returns to the court on Friday against Saint Michael's College at 5:00 p.m. Prior to the match, senior defensive specialist Isabelle Carroll (Jamesville, N.Y./Fabius-Pompey) will be honored by the Dolphin Athletic Association for her contributions to the program.
