The Mules (9-10 overall, 4-5 NESCAC) made sure of that with a 3-2
victory over Hamilton College on Saturday at Wadsworth Gymnasium. Colby
is currently in seventh place in the league and can finish no worse than
eighth for the eight-team playoff field.
Colby, ranked 14th in New England, lost a grueling 3-2 match to
Middlebury College on Friday night. Meanwhile, the Continentals (3-15
overall, 1-7 NESCAC) had a solid weekend only to lose two 3-2 matches
after falling to Bates College on Friday.
The Mules were hoping for any easy match after winning 25-15 and
25-11 in the first two sets. However, Hamilton pulled out a 25-23 win in
the third set and tied it up with a 25-18 win. Colby earned the victory
with a 15-9 win in the final set.
