Volleyball drops non-conference contest with Widener

CHESTER, PA (October 20, 2011) – The Penn State Berks women's volleyball dropped its match against a strong Widener University squad, that hit .322 from the floor, in straight-sets for a victory in scores of 25-15, 25-19 and 25-8.

The Nittany Lions (18-6) were again led by sophomore sensation Amy Shelton, who finished the contest with a match-high 15 kills to run her season total up to 290. That total is the second most in a single-season, trailing the 387 she recorded last season.

The Pride (19-9) used a balanced attack with Nicole Merton registering a team-high seven kills, followed by two teammates with six kills each. Widener collected 16 block assists in the contest.
