Women's volleyball pulls out 3-2 thriller over Ursinus



READING, PA (September 17, 2014) - The Penn State Berks women's volleyball team rallied from a terrible start en route to a 3-2 win over Ursinus College in a non-conference contest on Wednesday evening at Beaver Community Center.

The Nittany Lions (2-4), who were riding a 3-game losing streak entering the match, fell 25-7 in the opening game. It appeared Berks was ready to extend that streak, however, the 25-14 win in game two seemed to restore confidence in the squad. In game three, Berks trailed 22-21 before reeling off four straight points to take a 2-1 lead. The Bears (7-3) then evened the game at 2-all with a 25-19 victory. Berks took the decisive fifth game by a score of 15-11.

Sophia Zhang finished with a contest-leading 22 kills, while committing just five errors on 52 attempts for a .327 hitting percentage. Heleanna Davison was even more efficient, hitting .478 (14 kills/3 errors/23 attempts). The duo combined for over 70% of the Nittany Lions kills.

Megan DeAbreu led the defense with 17 digs, followed by Cassidy Schultz with 14. Zhang (14) and Colby Jones (11) also recorded double digit digs. Jordan Heath handed out 39 digs and recorded two service aces. Davison had a career-high seven block assists, while Heath also had a personal-high with five.

The Bears were led by Karla Theile's 14 kills, followed by Allison Raff with 11. They had five players finish with double digit digs, led by Leah Masiello with 22.

The Nittany Lions will return to action this weekend when they open up conference play at Wells College this weekend. Berks will face Morrisville State College (2 p.m.) and SUNYIT (6 p.m.) on Saturday. On Sunday, the Nittany Lions will play host Wells at 12 p.m.
