Rutgers volleyball closed out the 2024 season with a senior night celebration for Ece Emrullah and Alissa Kinkela, but fell to Maryland in three sets. Kinkela led the Scarlet Knights with 10 kills, just three shy of becoming the program’s rally-era career kills leader. Aly Borellis and Lily Bolen both recorded double-figure assists, while Lexi Visintine served up a pair of aces. Zora Hardison led in blocks and Natalie Robinson ended the season tied for the rally-era season leader in block assists.
In the first set, Maryland took the lead early and held on for the win. Rutgers fought back in the second set, but Maryland clinched the victory. The Scarlet Knights were within reach in the third set, but Maryland ultimately closed out the match. Despite the loss, Rutgers had a strong defensive performance, out-blocking Maryland 10-5.
This concludes the season for Rutgers women’s volleyball. Fans can continue to follow the team on social media for updates and news.
