BRYN MAWR, Pa. – The Bryn Mawr volleyball program played a tight three setter against the visiting Penn State Abington earlier Friday evening. The teams last met in 2010 with a 3-0 win for Bryn Mawr. However, the results of this evening's match would be flipped with a 3-0 win for Penn State Abington (25-17, 25-16, 25-13).

• Trailing 19-14 in the second set, Emma Loller '27 stunted the Nittany Lion's four rally run with the Owls' first block of the evening.
• Only two points later, Elise Perry 26' won the Owls' last rally of the set with a kill off a Penn State block error before the Nittany Lions took a two-set lead.
• The Owls struggled to find their footing in the first half of the third set as the visiting team led 21-11, but Bryn Mawr proved relentless as Loller tallied two more kills before the Nittany Lions finished the match 25-13.  

The Owls will rest for the weekend and return to the court on Thursday for an evening match at Keystone.
