Volleyball - Clark Shocks Bears

Karen Matic led the Bears with 34 assists and 10 digs.

WORCESTER, MASS.--(10/6/09)--Behind 11 kills and nine digs from sophomore Kristin McGinty host Clark University snapped an eight match losing streak to the United States Coast Guard Academy with a thrilling come-from-behind 3-2 win over the visiting Bears in front of a raucous crowd at the Kneller Athletic Center in NEWMAC women's volleyball action.

The win four the Cougars ended a losing streak to USCGA that dated back to October 27, 2001. The Bears, playing without a pair of injured starters tonight, had dominated the series in such fashion that Clark hadn't won a game in any meeting since their 2001 victory.

That all changed in this meeting as the Cougars raced out to leads of 14-4 and 24-7 before settling for a 25-9 win in game one.
