'Cuse Set For Second Shot At BC
Syracuse will take on Boston College on Sunday, November 16 at 1:00 PM in the Women's Building
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - On Sunday afternoon 'Cuse volleyball will get a shot at revenge after falling to the Boston College Eagles earlier this season in three sets.
Sunday, Nov. 16 at 1:00 PM - Boston College (10-14, 5-8 ACC) | Live Stats
Boston College enters the weekend with a 10-13 record, including five wins and seven losses in ACC play. The Eagles have lost four of their last six matches, but have won two of their last three. BC has struggled on the road this season with a 2-7 record, and will travel to Georgia Tech before taking on Syracuse on Sunday.
The last time the Orange squared off with the Eagles, Boston College took the match in three sets. Julia Topor led the team with 15 kills while Katy Workman added 14 and Sol Cavete contributed with 13. Workman's 326 kills this season leads the team and positions her sixth in the ACC with 3.62 kills per set.
As the setter of the Eagles, Kellie Barnum ranks seventh in the ACC in total assists with 804. She recorded 39 assists on BC's 54 kills the last time she faced the Orange.
The fifth best team in the ACC for service aces per set gave Syracuse's serve receive trouble in their first meeting as the Eagles recorded six aces in the match. Topor and Courtney Castle each finished with two.
Despite a three set loss, the 'Cuse-Boston College matchup featured 24 ties and 10 lead changes. While the first set was decided by a seven-point differential, the second set finished 25-22 and the Eagles needed 30 points in the third set to put away the Orange, 30-28.
Boston College is coming off a 3-0 victory at home against Clemson. Syracuse fell to the Tigers, 3-1 this past weekend.
'Cuse Notes
Block Party
'Cuse is currently averaging 2.90 blocks per set, seating it 15th in the nation and fourth in the ACC. It's 269 total blocks is the 17th most recorded by any team in the NCAA and has Syracuse third in the conference.
Lindsay McCabe, Leah Levert and Monika Salkute are the Coach Yelin's go-to middle blockers as they make up 303 total blocks. McCabe and Levert rank amongst the nation's best in blocks per set while McCabe also ranks 29th in the country with 126 total blocks. However, hitters, SIlvi Uattara, Stacey Smith and Valeriya Shaipova as well as setters, Gosia Wlaszczuk and Lucie Guttakovskaia combine for 201 total blocks.
McCabe's Siege On SU History
Lindsay McCabe is Syracuse University's all-time leader in block assists with 499 in her career. She took the throne against Boston College when she assisted on seven blocks.
Her consistency throughout her career at SU has her a second all-time for blocks per set. She's currently averaging 1.23 blocks per set and needs to average 1.35 to own Sarah Morton's record.
McCabe's 576 total blocks in her career has her third all-time at SU and on pace to take second. The magic number you ask? Jessica Paarlberg is currently the runner up with 587. 77 solo blocks has McCabe sixth on the all-time list.
Killing Spree
In less than three full seasons, Silvi Uattara has eclipsed the 1,000 career kill milestone. Her eight-kill against Miami declared her a member of the 1,000-kill club. She finished the match with 21 kills and followed up the next match with another 21-kill performance.
1,000 kills qualifies her for SU's all-time kills per set list. She currently is tied for second all-time, averaging 3.61 kills per set and is not far from the crown owned by Jennifer Murphy who averaged 3.67 per set.
Uattara is also just 57 kills away from entering the SU top 10 list for career kills.
Doing It All
With Syracuse fighting through injuries and dealing with losses due to transfers and graduation, Gosia Wlaszczuk has had to do it all for the Orange. Wlaszczuk was SU's starting hitter on the right side until Coach Yelin decided to make her the starting setter due to natural ability and a need for a setter.
The junior out of Poland embraced the new position and has excelled in all phases of the sport. She currently ranks 10th in the ACC with a 7.39 assist per set average and 680 assists on the season.
The average is impressive because Wlaszczuk not only attacks more, but her 106 kills this season is more than any other setter in the conference. Defenses have had difficulty reading her all season as they have no clue whether she will set the ball or sneakily dump the ball over for a kill before anyone can react to the play.
Wlaszczuk also has the fourth most digs on the team with 170 and is tied for the fifth most blocks with 43.
New Kid On The Block
Entering 'Cuse as one of the top high school recruits according to PrepVolleyball.com, Leah Levert was expected to help Syracuse spelling Monika Salkute and Lindsay McCabe when necessary. Due to the loss of Nicolette Serratore in the preseason, Monika Salkute was the one to step up and fill in the role at outside hitter that Serratore left behind. With Salkute moving to the outside, Levert saw an opportunity to make an impact and stepped up in a big way.
The freshman has started all but one match she's played in and is currently third in the country among freshmen with 1.32 blocks per set. The average has her 15th among underclassmen and 30th in the nation overall and sixth in the ACC.
Baptism By Fire
Out of seven freshmen on this year's squad, six have seen playing time and four have seen significant time on the floor.
Levert has earned the role as a starter at middle blocker. The Georgia native has appeared in 20 matches and missed three due to an injury.
Lucie Guttakovskaia has served as a reserve setter when needed, or has played along side Gosia Wlaszczuk to set her and give the team two setters on the floor. Guttakovskaia has played in all 25 matches for Syracuse.
Belle Sand and Dana Crispi have split time at libero and defensive specialist with Sand earning the starting libero job of late. Each have appeared in 19 matches while Sand has started in 12 matches including the last six.
As a class, the freshmen make up 142 assists, (Guttakovskaia is responsible for 101 of them) 269 digs, (Sand owns 151) and 116 total blocks. (Levert is credited with 98 and Guttakovskaia is credited with 118)

Salkute leads Syracuse, suffers from frustration in Syracuse’s 4-set loss to Boston College
By Jon MettusStaff Writer
12 hours ago
After Syracuse dropped the third set to Boston College, right-side hitter Monika Salkute was the first to jog to the other side of the court. She looked up at the scoreboard showing she was leading the team with nine kills — even though she actually had 12 at the time — but the Orange was trailing two sets to one.
Down by eight in the fourth set, SU surrendered consecutive points on a block error and bad set by Salkute. At match point for Boston College, head coach Leonid Yelin removed her for the first time in the game.
Salkute had gone the entire fourth set without recording a kill.
“I took her out not because it was obviously everyone could saw it was done deal, but I took her out just because I saw so much frustration,” Yelin said.
In front of a crowd of just 128 at the Women’s Building on Sunday, Salkute delivered mixed results and Syracuse (8-18, 1-13 Atlantic Coast) lost to Boston College (11-14, 6-8), 3-1. While leading the team with 12 kills and 13.5 points, Salkute also committed five attack errors and struggled to a .194 hitting percentage.
“As a player who never played in this position I can say good,” Yelin said about Salkute’s statistics for the game. “ But … what kind of player you want to see playing on the right side, definitely numbers it not there.
“That’s not bad. Compared to other two outside hitters’ numbers — negative —it looks awesome. Great, but …” Yelin said before shrugging and setting his hands on the table in front of him.
In the first set, Salkute was the majority of Syracuse’s offense. She recorded six kills, but a miscommunication between her and libero Belle Sand let a serve drop in for an ace and forced Yelin to sigh and take his first timeout.
In the second set, with the score 22-21, Salkute served an ace that landed on the line. Then she hammered a ball into the other side of the court for a point, clenching her fists, closing her eyes and screaming, “Yes!”
A few points later, Salkute set to outside hitter Silvi Uattara for the set-winning kill. The pair jumped in the air and high-fived as they walked off the court for the break.
But late in the third set, Salkute dove and missed a ball in the back left corner of the court. Yelin motioned to the referee for a timeout. When she smashed a ball into the net in the fourth, Salkute put her head down and Yelin took another time out.
“I think she did OK,” middle blocker Lindsay McCabe said of Salkute. “I think everyone on the team had points where they played great and points where they didn’t play so well.”
At times Salkute was cheering for a point or smiling and swinging her arms coming out of a time out by Boston College. But other times she was yelling “S—” after digging the ball poorly.
Until the last point of the game, Salkute was the only player Yelin had yet to substitute out.
Yelin said she plays an important role at that position that no one else can fill. Even when she’s struggling he doesn’t have another player to replace her with, he said.
Salkute played well, relative to her teammates, Yelin added.
She was the only one of the three hitters to have a hitting percentage that wasn’t negative. Her 12 kills were more than the 10 that Uattara and Stacey Smith, the other hitter, combined for.
But Salkute’s mistakes at the end of the match were completely due to frustration, Yelin said, and that’s why he took her out.
Said Yelin: “There was no point to leaving her in.”
