Aston, Pa-Saturday afternoon Neumann College hosted Arcadia University in Volleyball action in a PAC conference match up. Neumann won in straight games: 30-27, 30-24, 30-20.

 

The opening game turned out to be the most exciting, with a back and forth effort by both teams right until the end. Julia Tarloski led the Knights with 6 kills followed by Rachael Sokolovich with 4. Strong serving by team co-captain Jenna Halpin anchored the team in the end with a 30-27 win.

Rachael Sokolovich added 8 kills to her two game total of 12 and Kristen Gregg-Verone led with a two game total of 16 assists. With the game tied midway through, Sarah Miller answered with 3 key kills that seemed to boost the spirits of the Knights and give Neumann the edge back. The Knights went on to secure the win 30-24.

 

Entering the third game, Neumann had their opponents pinned in a corner. Once again the Knights showed no mercy coming out and grabbing a commanding lead. Kelly Saville stepped up in the third game and made big plays to maintain the Knights lead and closed with 2 kills on the night. Kristen Gregg-Verone finished with 26 assists on the day and led the Knights to a 30-20 victory over the Knights of Arcadia.
