Women's Volleyball Drops Home Finale To Penn State Altoona Wednesday Evening

GREENSBURG- The Pitt-Greensburg volleyball team dropped a 3-0 decision to Penn State Altoona in the final home match of the 2018 season, Wednesday evening in Chambers Hall. 

Pitt-Greensburg concludes its season Saturday afternoon with an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference contest at Penn State Behrend. Saturday's matchup against Behrend is set for a 1 pm start. 

Alexis Ray led the way offensively with a game-high 11 kills and put together a solid game on the defensive end, tallying a team-best three blocks. The 11 kills for Ray was her third highest total in a match this season, and the fifth time this year she has recorded double-digit kills. 

Emma Dongilli put on a tremendous display serving the volleyball, totaling two service aces, and the junior setter also tallied a game-high 22 assists. Kassi Niver also put together a great match on the defensive side of the court, posting a match-high 19 digs. 

The Bobcats came out strong to start the match and put together their best performance in the opening set. Pitt-Greensburg totaled 11 kills on 32 attacks for a .188 hitting percentage, while Altoona notched 12 kills on 31 attacks for a .161 attack percentage. 

In the opening set, Altoona jumped out to a 7-1 advantage, but the Bobcats slowly crept back and would get within four (11-7) on a kill by Sabre Turner. Following the Turner kill, Pitt-Greensburg reeled off four of the next five points to cut the deficit to three (14-11) following an error by the Lions. The two sides continued to trade points and the Altoona lead would be cut to two, following an attack error from Eden Taddei. The Lions responded winning four of the next six points to take control of the set. Altoona won three of the final four points of the set and would jump out to a 1-0 lead following a 25-20 victory in the opening set. 

Penn State Altoona continued the momentum into set two winning the first four points. The Bobcats answered with a kill from Ray and a service ace from Dongilli, but the Lions won three of the next four points to push their advantage to four (7-3). Pitt-Greensburg then answered with four-straight points to tie the set at seven, but Altoona fired off six quick points to grab hold of the set. Altoona pushed its lead to 16-6 and would take a 2-0 lead with a 24-15 decision in the second set. 

Altoona won the first two points of the third set and would never trail as they would take game three (25-20) for a 3-0 victory. 

Pitt-Greensburg concludes its season Saturday afternoon at Penn State Behrend. Saturday's match against the Lions is set for 1 pm.
