The #5 seed in the DIII Southwest 2 sectional earned a solid win to open their playoff run. Carroll defeated Belmont in convincing 3-0 fashion as Dooley led the Patriots with 15 kills to help set up a match versus Sidney in the next round. The sophomore is an aggressive attacker with versatility to swing from either pin and out of the back row. She has been providing some of her best offense late in the season including a season high 17 kills in Carroll’s previous win. Over their most recent four matches, Dooley has terminated the ball at a 4.5 k/s averaged over that span, well ahead of her season average of 2.2 k/s. That’s a good sign for the Patriots as they advance.

Just a freshman, Dooley earns some recognition after a clean performance in Carroll’s recent 3-0 win over Middletown Christian. Second on the team with 10 kills and 15 assists, Dooley displayed her versatility while also being very efficient as she earned her offensive points on 18 swings with zero errors. At 5’7, she approaches with good fundamentals in her footwork and lift while also swinging with good control in her placement.
