Bloomsburg slips past LHU in Five-Set Thriller

The LHU volleyball team dropped an intense five-set match versus visiting Bloomsburg Tuesday evening at Thomas Fieldhouse.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University volleyball team (9-16, 4-12 PSAC) fell to the Bloomsburg University Huskies (6-20, 2-14 PSAC), 3-2 (23-25, 23-25, 25-20, 25-23, & 17-15) in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) action on Tuesday night at Thomas Fieldhouse.
 
The Bald Eagles and Huskies battled out an intense back and forth first set with the Haven coming out on top 25-23. Lock Haven then came from behind in another nail biting second set to take the 2-0 lead heading to the third set by a 25-23 score. The Haven jumped out to an early lead in the third set, but Bloomsburg fought back to eventually win another close set and force a fourth set. The Huskies took control early in the fourth and ran out to a commanding lead, but an inspired comeback from the Bald Eagles fell just short in a 25-23 Bloomsburg win. In the fifth, set the Huskies and Bald Eagles treated the crowd to a show as they battled out yet another tightly fought set before the Huskies took the set 17-15 and the match 3-2.
 
Highlighting the night for the Haven was Kristen Nealon (Horsham, Pa./Archbishop Wood). The standout setter racked up 55 assists and surpassed the illustrious 2000 assist mark and now sits at 2012.
