Semifinals Box Score - Kingsborough/Bronx
NEW YORK - Sandra Izaguirre was named Most Valuable Player of the 2008 City University of New York Athletic Conference Community College Women’s Volleyball Championships Monday night at Borough of Manhattan Community College, as she lifted the second-seeded Bronx Community College Broncos to their first-ever conference title with a 3-1 victory (16-25, 25-18, 25-23, 25-21) over the host and top-seeded Panthers.
Joining Izaguirre (seven kills, eight aces in finals) on the all-tournament team were here two teammates, Rocheska Alcantara and Vanessa Brown; BMCC’s Carreen Dowkins; Hostos’ Shianny Martinez; and Kingsborough’s Anastajia Kilina.
Bronx advanced to the finals by toppling Kingsborough by a 3-1 count, while BMCC exacted revenge from the 2007 title match by toppling defending champion and fourth-seeded Hostos, 3-1.
In the final match, BMCC jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first set before the Broncos knotted the frame at 6-all behind three-straight aces by Izaguirre. The teams stayed close midway through the set, before the Panthers ripped off an 11-3 spurt to secure a 1-0 lead in the match; Dowkins and Austria Maldonado (eight kills, five digs) each put down three kills for the hosts during the stretch.
