LYCOMING VOLLEYBALL UPSETS SCRANTON

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College volleyball team hosted the University of Scranton, Wednesday evening, in an important MAC Freedom Conference match-up. The Royals had knocked the Warriors form last year’s conference playoffs and entered this match 2-0 in the Freedom. Lycoming, however, came back from two games down to defeat Scranton in five games by scores of 26-30, 27-30, 30-27, 30-25, and 15-4.

Layne Haverstock (So./Hesston, PA; Huntingdon) led the team with 24 kills in the match. Gretchen Hause (Jr./Severna Park, MD; Severna Park) was tops on the squad with 22 blocks. She also chipped in 10 kills. Seneca Reilly (Fr./Athens, PA; Athens) recorded 52 assists on the night.

“This was a big win for us,” said Lycoming Head Coach Tim McMahon. “We finally played up to our potential. This gets us right back in the middle of the playoff hunt. Hopefully we can build off this momentum and carry it through the rest of the season.”

The Warriors improve to 5-5 overall and 2-2 within the conference. The Royals fall to 9-7 and 2-1 with the loss. Lycoming travels to Elmira College this weekend for a tri-match with Lebanon Valley and Elmira.
