The Behrend Lady Lion
volleyball team continued its
season Tuesday with a trimatch
against Lake Erie College and
Wilmington College. Behrend

paced the serving attack with five
aces each.
Last Thursday, Behrend suffered
two losses at the hands of
Allegheny College and
Washington & Jefferson.
Behrend lost to the Lady
Presidents of W&J 15-8 and 15-
10. Then Behrend's evening did
not get much better against
Allegheny, falling 15-13 and 15-
0.
The biggest problem for the
Lady Lions that night was service
errors. They committed 22
service errors on the evening.
Head Coach Sharon Gregory
explained that the score against
Allegheny did not reflect how
they played.]
"We didn't play as bad as 0-15
sound. Errors just killed us
because it took away any
momentum we might have had,"
explained Gregory.
Though the Lady Lions record
is currently under .500, Gregory
said the team has set some goals
for the end of season.
