Women's Volleyball Downs Cairn to Advance to Semifinal Round

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – Penn State Harrisburg's women's volleyball team moves on to the United East Championship Semifinals after securing a 3-1 victory over Cairn on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 9. The Lions bested the away team by set scores of 25-17, 14-25, 25-21, and 25-20.

Hannah DeGregory was all over the floor, as she tallied 15 assists, 13 digs, 12 kills, and five service aces. Mackenzy Miller had a team-high 25 assists from the setter position, while Julia Choe led the Lions with 15 digs and added three aces.

Penn State Harrisburg (18-7) got out to a sizeable lead in the opening set and they never looked back as Cairn (16-7) was unable to get ahead at any point during the frame. However, the Highlanders dominated the second set and secured the win by nine straight points to end it 25-14.

In the third, the away team was fighting from behind for awhile until Cairn tied it up 14-14 halfway through the set. The surge proved to not be enough for the Highlanders and the Lions earned the advantage to conclude the frame 25-21.

Cairn had one last push in the final set of the afternoon, but a six-point run by Penn State Harrisburg to gain a 19-15 edge gave the Lions all the momentum in the back half of the frame. The Blue & White ended the match with three consecutive points, starting with a monster kill from Camryn Wettstone before Choe had back-to-back service aces to put the exclamation point on the squads' 3-1 victory.
