MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg women's volleyball team earned a 3-1 victory over non-conference opponent Marywood on Tuesday night, Sept. 27.
The first set began with a back-and-forth battle, but the Blue & White saw an opening after a kill from Snyder to Emmaline Stevens to put them up 20-13. The Lions added two more points to the board when Morris served a pair of aces back-to-back and after that, the set was at hand.
