Fredonia, NY – The SUNY Canton women's volleyball team split a pair of matches on the final day of the Fredonia Tournament on Saturday.
 
The Roos nearly came back but fell in five sets to Ithaca College 3-2 (24-26, 23-25, 25-19, 26-24, 10-15) before sweeping host Fredonia 3-0 (27-25, 25-21, 25-23).

After dropping a pair of sets by just two points in the first two frames the Roos battled back earning 25-19 and 26-24 victories in the third and fourth sets. The Bombers (17-1) survived taking the final set 15-10. The numbers were extremely even as SUNY Canton actually finished with more kills (62-56) and less errors (24-29) than Ithaca.
