BRYN MAWR, PA – The Bryn Mawr volleyball program competed in one of their strongest matches of conference play earlier Wednesday evening as they welcomed Muhlenberg to the Class of 1958 Gymnasium.

Despite some strong rallies by Bryn Mawr, Muhlenberg retook the lead and won the first set, 25-19.
• The scoreboard flipped back-and-forth throughout the opening points of the second set with neither team earning a strong advantage. The Owls took a second three-point run to gain a 12-11 lead, but from there, the Mules' offense overpowered Bryn Mawr.
