As Patriot League play continued, the volleyball team traveled to American on Sept. 26 and Navy on Sept. 27. Although the Bison fell 3-0 against American, they pushed the Navy match to five sets in a 3-2 loss.

In the third conference match of the season, the Bison had a hard time keeping up with American. Still, there was plenty of effort all around, starting with Meghan Wentzel’s ’16 10 assists. American finished the sweep (25-9, 25-12, 25-18), although the Orange and Blue improved with each set. Hailey Stout ’18 and Karen Campbell ’16 had five kills each.

After the large defeat, the Bison battled their way through a tough match with Navy. Battling to a fifth-set tiebreaker, the Orange and Blue competed with Navy throughout each set, although they eventually fell 16-14 in the final set of the match.

Navy took a 2-1 lead before the Bison claimed a 25-21 win in the fourth set to force the tiebreaker. Erika Eastley ’17 and Jordan Walker ’17 had double digit kills in the match.

The Orange and Blue (2-10 overall, 1-3 Patriot League) head to Bethlehem, Pa. to face Lehigh on Oct. 3 before returning home for a match against Lafayette on Oct. 4 at 5 p.m.
