It's not always how you start, but how you finish.
Saturday evening's conference match-up (which was the Dig Pink match in honor of breast cancer awareness month) between the DePaul Blue Demons (3-18, 1-8 BIG EAST) and Villanova Wildcats (11-13, 4-5 BIG EAST) followed said quote stated above.
DePaul took the first set 25-22, with a strong outing from freshman Catilyn Coffey who had a career night in her young collegiate career, notching a career high 14 kills in the match, along with 4 block assists and 2 solo blocks.
But it was the trio attack from the Wildcats that helped them take the next 3 sets and the match victory. Colleen Hickey (15), Cara Cunningham (14), and Lauren Carpenter (12) hit double figures in the kills category in Saturday's win. Villanova setter Allie DiBernardo had a double double in Saturday night's contest contributing with 36 assists and 10 digs.
Also for the Blue Demons, setter Colleen Smith contributed with a nice all-around outing with 40 assists, 8 digs, 5 kills, 6 assisted rejections.
