Troy, NY--The Sage College's women's volleyball team hosted the Dutchwomen of Union College in the fifth annual Crank for a Cure Match at the Neff Center on Tuesday night. Union collected the 3-0 win (25-15, 25-14, 25-16) to improve to 17-11 on the season. Sage drops to 12-18.
Union's senior outside hitter Eve Richards (Schenectady, NY/Schenectady) finished the night with 15 kills and 12 digs. Among one of her kills in the second set was her 1,500th career kill, becoming just the second player in program history to reach the plateau.

Wilson has played in 126 matches and 420 games for the Gators, while making her presence felt both on and off the court. She racked up 10 digs in the contest and ranks among the top performers on Sage's career record book in both digs and serving aces. She is currently third on the career dig list with 1,591, good enough for 3.78 career digs per set, which is fourth best at Sage.
