With Honors

Kristin Quinn ’07

First-year Quinn received All-Tournament honors at the Wesleyan Invitational this past weekend. In the course of the four-match volleyball tournament, in which Amherst finished 4-1, outside hitter Quinn tallied a team-leading 47 kills and 33 blocks. So far in her rookie year, Quinn has been a strong offensive as well as defensive threat for the Firedogs, as they continue to dominate with a 16-3 record so far.

Piper Crowell

Crowell led Amherst to an upset victory over 20th-ranked Middlebury College on Saturday. The rookie goalkeeper recorded her first career shutout in the 2-0 win, blocking three Panther shots and providing stellar defense for the Jeffs. In last Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to fifth-ranked Wheaton College, Crowell sparkled the soccer team with 14 saves. She will play a key role as Amherst battles for a playoff spot in coming weeks.
