SALEM, Mass. -- Senior outside hitter Shannon Shuttle (New Ipswich, N.H./Mascenic Regional) swung for a season-high 16 kills to lead the University of Southern Maine Huskies to a 3-1 win over the Suffolk University Rams in one of their three matches at the Salem State Invitational Saturday at Twohig Gymnasium.
In its opening match, Southern Maine fell to Mt. St. Mary's (NY) 3-0 (12-25, 6-25, 11-25) before rebounding to defeat Suffolk 3-1 (25-19, 20-25, 25-21, 25-15). In its last match of the day, USM lost to host Salem State 3-1 (25-15, 15-25, 20-25, 16-25). The Huskies are now 3-13 overall. Mt. St. Mary's stands at 9-7 and Salem State is 4-13.
