NORTHAMPTON, Mass.--The Smith College volleyball team (9-17, 1-7 NEWMAC) embarks on their final game of the season when they travel to play Worcester Polytechnic Institute (18-9, 4-4 NEWMAC) on Saturday at 1 p.m. 


Last Meeting: WPI ended the season by beating Smith for the first time in 23 years, a 3-2 win on October 30, 2010.

Last Smith Win: Smith took a four set victory over the Engineers on October 6, 2009.

Smith Overview: The Pioneers will look to close their season on a high, after tough losses to Amherst College and Clark University this week.  A win for Smith would see them hit double-digits for the first time since the 2008 season.

WPI Overview: The Engineers currently sit in fifth place, tied with Clark University with a 4-4 NEWMAC record.  A win would cement their place in the NEWMAC tournament, but they still could qualify with a loss, depending on the results of Clark and Babson.

Smith Player to Watch: Rosa Drummond (Rye, N.H./Portsmouth) has 120 kills in her last seven matches, hitting the 20 mark three times.

WPI Player to Watch: Elyssa Dorenfeld has a team high 257 digs, good for 3.17 per game.
