The LHU volleyball team opened PSAC play versus Bloomsburg and picked up the five-set win in their 2022 Homecoming Match.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – On Friday night in front of a packed Thomas Fieldhouse, the Lock Haven University volleyball team (1-11, 1-0 PSAC) picked up a thrilling five-set win over visiting Bloomsburg University (2-10, 0-1 PSAC), 3-2, (25-22, 19-25, 15-25, 25-13 & 15-12) in the Bald Eagles 2022 Homecoming Match.
