SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—The William Smith College volleyball team defeated Skidmore 3-1 in Liberty League action this afternoon to bring its record to 9-4 overall and 2-1 in Liberty League play.

COACHES CORNER:
 
"This match was a grind," Head Coach Derryk Williams said. "Skidmore came out and did a great job of making our team uncomfortable. Thankfully we responded well and got the win. Malya and Hope did a great job on the outside for us today, especially with how out of system we were. Jaylynn played great as a six-rotation middle and Elaina is the glue that led us to this victory. We have a lot to work on as we head into RIT but a win is a win!"
 
UP NEXT:
 
William Smith will travel to Rochester to take on RIT on Wednesday in a midweek conference matchup. First serve is set to start at 6 p.m.
