NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – The Merrimack College women's volleyball program will honor the careers of senior captains Mary Kate McCarroll (Harrison, Ohio) and Christina Nye (Plaistow, N.H.) on Saturday afternoon when the Warriors celebrate Senior Day prior to Merrimack's regular-season finale against American International College at 1 p.m. from Hammel Court.

Last Time Out:

• The Warriors hung with visiting Southern New Hampshire on Tuesday night, but dropped a three-set match to the Penmen from Hammel
• Nye eclipsed the 300-dig mark for the season on Tuesday, totaling a match-high 18 from her libero position. She enters tomorrow's match with 934 career digs, closing in on the top-10 in program history for career digs
• Sophomore Catherine Flaherty (North Andover, Mass.) registered a team-high eight kills, sophomore Rosie Sperduto (Brentwood, Tenn.) paced the Warriors with 27 aces, while McCarroll added a team-best two aces and two blocks
• McCarroll notched her 40^th service ace of the year on Tuesday, becoming the first Warriors in seven years to post at least 40 aces in a single season

Inside the Series:

• Merrimack will look to snap a three-match losing streak against the Yellow Jackets on Saturday
• The Warriors face the Yellow Jackets twice last season, including a four-set defeat in Northeast-10 Conference play. AIC went on to win the East Region and advanced to the Elite Eight
