Volleyball Falls in Five Set Battle at Hiram

HIRAM, Ohio – The Allegheny volleyball team traveled to Ohio to face Hiram in Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) competition Wednesday (Oct. 22), falling to the Terriers in a five set battle.
 
Hiram won the sets 25-14, 20-25, 25-13, 24-26, 15-11.
 
The Terriers gained an early lead in the opening set and carried the momentum throughout as they won it 25-14.
 
After back-and-forth play to start the second set, the Gators went on a 5-0 run to take an 18-13 lead. Hiram would pull within a point at 21-20, but Allegheny closed the set on a 4-0 run, tying the match at one set each.
 
Similar to the opening set, the Terriers took the lead early in the third as they won the set 25-13.
 
The teams were evenly matched for the majority of the fourth set. Hiram had a 22-20 lead late, but the Gators rattled off three straight points to jump ahead. After a timeout, though, the Terriers earned a match point at 24-23. A kill by Carlee Pepperman (Bellefonte, Pa./Bellefonte Area) tied the set at 24.
