SCRANTON, Pa. - The Shenandoah University women's volleyball team competed in the Electric City Invitational at the University of Scranton on Saturday, splitting the two matches. The Hornets (4-4) earned a 3-0 win over the Hartwick College Hawks (5-5) and then lost 3-2 to the host Royals (6-4).

With the second set tied 5-5, the Hornets went on to take a 10-6 lead, which grew to double digits at 20-10. Myah Watson had consecutive kills to help put SU up 23-12, with two Hartwick service errors helping SU reach a 25-18 win.

In the final frame, the Hornets grabbed an 8-7 lead thanks to a Hawks' attack error and never looked back, holding the lead for the rest of the set. Watson, Hylton, and Spence provided the last three points for the Hornets, each picking up a kill.

The third set was taken by the home team, 25-21, putting the Hornets back against the wall. That didn't slow down SU, as they took a 3-0 lead in the fourth. The lead reached five points, 11-6, thanks to kills from Ashlynn Spence and Hannah Hylton.
