Women's Volleyball Takes Down Seahawks in Four Sets

ST. MARYS CITY, Md. - The Shenandoah University women's volleyball team took down St. Mary's College of Maryland in four sets with a 3-1 non-conference road win on Tuesday evening.

The Hornets (13-11) dropped the first set, 25-20, but rallied past the Seahawks (21-6) with 26-24, 25-22, and 25-20 wins in sets two through four.

RECAP

Ashlynn Spence, Hannah Hylton, and Danica Duncan each laid down a kill to help the Hornets to a 3-3 tie in the first, but St. Mary's scored the next four points to start to pull away in the set, before winning 25-20.

The Hornets fell behind 3-0 in the second but quickly came back with points from Myah Watson, Kiyah Robinson, and Duncan. With the set tied at seven, Shenandoah went on an 8-0 run for a 15-7 advantage. However, the Seahawks eventually came back to lead 24-22 late. Shenandoah didn't let the Seahawks complete the comeback, however, as SU picked up four straight kills to take the second.

Shenandoah tallied the first three points in the third, but once again the Seahawks fought back to lead late, 18-16. Once again, the Hornets stopped the comeback attempt, ending the set on an 8-4 run with multiple blocks and kills from Spence.

In the fourth and leading by one, 18-17, Shenandoah forced the potential match point with a 6-0 run. St. Mary's collected the next three points, but Alana Washington earned the match-clinching kill in SU's final road match of the regular season.

Shenandoah had a 47-45 advantage in kills, led by Duncan's 10. Alayna Cole and Susan Smith combined for 38 of Shenandoah's 46 assists. 

The Hornets also had 14 service aces, with Samantha Shy, Robinson, Cole, and Spence each having multiple.
