Kingston, RI - The La Salle Explorer volleyball took the court for the final time in 2004 at Rhode Island's Keaney Gymnasium on Saturday evening. The only Atlanitc 10 conference team the Explorers defeated this season, Rhode Island entered the match looking to rebound from that loss. Just over an hour and a half later, the Rams did just that, ending La Salle's season with a 3-0 loss. The Explorers finish the season with an 8-25 overall record and a 1-14 record in the Atlantic 10. The Rams finish 9-17 overall and 4-10 in conference play.

The seniors led the way for La Salle in their final appearance in the blue and gold, with Lauren Woods (Akron, OH/Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy) landing six kills in 18 attempts with just one error for a .278 hitting percentage. She also assisted on La Salle's lone block of the game and posted one assist and two digs.

Amanda Woods (Cincinnati, OH/McNicholas) assisted on 23 kills, while dropping two kills of her own on the Rams. On defense she tallied eight digs.

On the defensive end, Caitlin DeJong (Lansing, IL/Marian Catholic) posted a team-high 10 digs and assisted on one kill.

Junior Abby Means (Stevens, PA/Cocalico) matched Woods' six kills and joined her on La Salle's block.

Rhode Island's Kaleena Miller led all players with 15 kills, while Rachel Bello contributed 11 in the Rams' win.

On defense for Rhode Island, Beatriz Arana and Chelsea Wisz each finished with a match-high 11 digs.
