Gonzales Breaks Records, Eagles Split

SAVANNAH, Ga. - Marissa Gonzales, a junior setter for ERAU, broke two career records at the SCAD Invitational on Saturday while the Eagles split the final two games of the tournament.

On Saturday, ERAU faced Webber International and took the Warriors to game five.

In game five, Gonzales notched her 3,382nd career assist and broke Brooke Geiger's previous record for assists in a career. Off of a dig by Rachel Ridder, Gonzales set the ball for Jenni Nelsen and Nelsen slammed it down on the opposite side of the court, giving ERAU its fourth point of the game and notching Gonzales'name in the record books.

Gonzales accomplished the feat in her third year with the Eagles and in her 331st game. Geiger completed her four-year career in 2003 after playing 512 games and accumulating 3,381 assists.

The Eagles went on to fall to Webber 2-3 by scores of 25-30, 31-29, 22-30, 30-27, and 6-15.

ERAU then took on St. Thomas and came out victorously, downing the Bobcats in 3-0 fashion by scores of 30-20, 30-15 and 30-22. The Eagles are 3-0 against the Bobcats this season.

In game three of the match, Gonzales served her 203rd career service ace and broke another Geiger record. Geiger held the record for aces in a career with 202, a record now held by Gonzales.

Gonzales' current totals for assists and aces are 3,409 and 203, respectively.

Gonzales and the Eagles will be in action next on Tuesday at Edward Waters beginning at 6 p.m.
