Lakewood, N.J. - Georgian Court University's Dan Sempkowski became the winningest coach in program history Saturday as his Lions registered a pair of victories to extend their winning-streak to seven-straight games and improve to a sensational 21-5 (11-2 CACC) on the year.
Sempkowski (151-110, .579), in his eighth year at the helm, passes
Francisco Casado (150-115, .566) who led the Lions to four conference titles during his tenure from 2004-2011. The Lions won the 2013 crown under Sempkowski's tutelage. Â
GCU opened the day with a 3-0 conference victory over Concordia College (25-12, 25-16, 25-21) before ending the afternoon with a 3-0 win vs. Lincoln University (25-18, 25-14, 25-19).
Kayla Wilson paced the Lions with seven kills vs. Concordia, followed by
Shana Rayside and
Grace Fenn with six apiece. Georgian Court collected 27 blocks in the triumph, led by
Amy Bruno's seven denials. Fenn put back six of her own. Rayside had five rejections.
In the nightcap,
Aubrey Binkley made her first start since September 20th vs. Le Moyne College as the junior topped the Lions with eight kills and seven digs in her return. J
aime Sweeney and
Ashley Pierson shared the setting duties with 16 and 15 assists, respectively.Â
Fenn finished off the day in fine fashion with seven more kills in the win.
Georgian Court next plays this Wednesday with a non-conference visit to Queens College. Start time is 6:00 p.m.
