WINCHESTER, Va. – The Shenandoah University volleyball team dropped a heartbreaker Friday night, falling 3-2 in non-league action to Mount Aloysius.
 
Mount Aloysius (8-3) took the 20-25, 25-18, 25-20, 22-25, 15-9 decision over the Hornets (3-9) in a match that saw 27 ties and 12 lead changes.
 

IN BRIEF

Unfortunately for the SU faithful, the final lead change proved to be the death knell as the Mounties rallied from a 5-0 deficit in the fifth to rally for the six-point win.
 
Shenandoah held its final lead at 8-7 following a Sabrina Semo kill off of a Megan Hillyard set.
 
The two teams traded sides of the court, but the momentum didn't make that same journey as Mount Aloysius scored eight of the nine points following the switch.
 
The Hornets committed three attack errors and saw the Mounties post two service aces in that span – the only SU point during the time came via a Mount service error.
 
The Mounties finished off the match on the second of the two service aces.
