MONTREAL - Kelsey Irwin, a six-foot middle-blocker from Vancouver, B.C., hammered a game-high 22 kills and added a pair of stuff blocks as McGill defeated Sherbrooke 3-1 in a women's volleyball match at Love Competition Hall, Sunday.
The Martlets won by set scores of 25-22, 33-35, 27-25 and 25-15 in a marathon-like time of two hours, 16 minutes.
The second set (33-35), which thoroughly entertained the fans but drained both teams, lasted 44 minutes and was the highest set score ever in school history and somewhat reminiscent of last summer's infamous Wimbledon tennis match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut.
"That set was tough on both teams,' said Rachele Béliveau, head coach of the Martlets. "We fought hard and it affected the energy level and concentration but we battled back to win the third set 27-25 and it gave us the momentum we needed."
McGill had a 53-49 edge in kills, but were outscored in aces (6-1), blocks (14-5) and digs (68-54).
Other leading Martlets included senior Alexandra Sheppard (9 kill, 2 blocks) of North Vancouver, as well as sophomore Emily Kyte (8 kills, 1 block) of Ottawa and Kaiva Mateus (6 kills, 3 blocks), a junior from Montreal. Marcela Mansure of Lachine, Que., registered 42 assists and Daphnée-Maude Andre-Morin of Kitchener, Ont., had 21 digs and a stellar 2.48 passing ratio.
Sherbrooke's Renée-Claude Chevarie, a senior from Lac-au-Saumon, Que., led the Vert & Or with a dozen kills, three aces and one stuff block.
McGill sits third in the Quebec league with a 5-3 record, two points behind second-place Laval (6-2) and a comfortable six-point bulge ahead of cellar-dwelling Sherbrooke (2-6).
Up next for both teams is the second Quebec-Atlantic interlocking tournament of the season, which counts in the standings of both leagues. The four Quebec teams will hook up with four AUS-based schools in a three-day affair at Sherbrooke, Nov. 19-21. McGill, which has been victorious in five of their last six matches, will play Saint Mary's (4-2), Memorial (1-5), Moncton (4-1) and UNB (5-1).
