Box Score
MONTREAL – Roxane Hasseni of LaSalle, Que., racked up 18 kills, eight digs and a pair of blocks as visiting Sherbrooke outlasted McGill 3-1 in a hard-fought women's volleyball contest at Love Competition Hall, Friday
The second-place Vert & Or, which improved to 12-3, won by set scores of 25-18, 28-26, 19-25 and 26-24 in a marathon that lasted an hour and 57 minutes.
Sherbrooke had a 46-39 edge in kills and an 11-3 margin in aces.
The result put a serious roadblock in front of McGill's playoff hopes as the Martlets sit last in the four-team RSEQ conference with a 7-8 record. McGill sits three wins behind the third-place Montreal Carabins (10-5) and only five matches remaining on their schedule.
Ashley Norfleet, an education freshman from Brossard, Que., was the leading scorer for the Martlets with 10.5 points. The 5-foot-11 power-hitter registered eight kills, three kills and five assisted blocks.
