Getting 15 kills from three separate players, the Canisius College volleyball team defeated Saint Peter's in four sets at the Yanitelli Center on Saturday. The Golden Griffins won 25-23, 23-25, 25-23, 25-21 to improve to 5-8 overall and 2-1 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

Junior Renee Lettow, sophomore Danielle Brawn and freshman Samantha Good each had 15 kills for the Griffs. Lettow (10 digs) and Brawn (14 digs) each had double-doubles for the Griffs. Freshman Allyson Severyn led the Griffs with 34 digs while sophomore Janelle Davis had 49 assists.

"It was nice to win our first conference away match, which is never easy," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "We got great execution and emotion from Jasmine Brennan, who played in the first full game of her career.

"We had a number of other players step up and today was a good, gritty win."

The Griffs were down 23-21 in the first set but won the final four points of the set to get the win. After a Saint Peter's error, Brawn had two kills and Kaela Glenn had a service ace for the winning point.

Saint Peter's (4-10, 1-2) rallied to win the second set, coming back from a 18-12 deficit to tie the set at 21-21. The Peahens then won four of the final six points to even the match.

Canisius pulled away in the third set with the score tied at 14-14. The Griffs went on a 5-1 run to take control and go up 2-1 in the match. The Griffs did the same thing in the fourth set, turning a 16-16 tie into a 23-19 lead on a kill from Good. Lettow had the final kill of the match for the four-set win.

Canisius wraps up the weekend trip to the New York City area at Manhattan on Sunday. Match time in the Draddy Gymnasium is set for 1 p.m.
