WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel took the deciding set 15-7 to notch a 3-2 Centennial Conference (CC) victory over Swarthmore en route to a 2-0 day in a home volleyball trimatch on Saturday.

The Green Terror (14-6, 4-2 CC) handed the Garnet (16-4, 6-1 CC) its first conference loss of the season and ended its streak at 15 consecutive victories. McDaniel capped the day with a 3-0 win over Lebanon Valley.

Against Swarthmore, Kloe Martin (Littleton, Colo./Heritage) knocked down 20 kills and added 25 digs to reach 1,000 digs for her career and become just the third player in program history to join the 1,000-kill, 1,000-dig club. She added 10 more kills and seven more digs against the Dutchmen.

Tied at 6-all in the first set, a Maddie Moyer (Brookeville, Md./Sherwood) kill started an 8-1 run that opened up a 14-7 advantage en route to a 25-17 victory.

Swarthmore built a 14-8 lead in the second set before back-to-back Caroline Savin (Shrewsbury, Pa./Susquehannock) kills capped an 8-2 counter that evened the set.

An Olivia Leventhal kill and Madison Heppe ace gave the Garnet a 23-20 lead en route to a 25-21 win.

Swarthmore battled back in the third set to make it a 24-23 score but Martin knocked down a kill out of a timeout to give the hosts a 2-1 lead in the match.

The Garnet raced out to a 12-5 lead in the fourth set, ultimately forcing a fifth set by a 25-15 margin.

Tied at 3-all in the deciding set, Martin knocked down three kills in four points to open a 6-4 lead. Kills from Teryn Rath (Grass Valley, Calif./Bear River) and Allie Lugar (Wilmington, Del./Dupont) keyed another four straight points to stretch the lead to 10-4.

Martin finished the 15-7 win with a solo block.

Madeline Rose (Soddy Daisy, Tenn./Baylor School) and Rath chipped in 13 and 11 kills, respectively. Taylor Bauman (Charlottesville, Va./Albemarle) steadied the defense with 36 digs – the most in a single match by a Green Terror player since 2006.

Sarah Wallace led Swarthmore with 20 kills and 18 digs.

Tied at 25-all in the first set with Lebanon Valley (14-8), a ball-handling error and Savin kill gave McDaniel a 27-25 win.

The Green Terror carried that momentum into the rest of the match, completing the sweep with wins of 25-13 and 25-17.

Martin, Rose and Rath had 10 kills each while Bauman steadied the defense with 15 digs. Savin added six kills and five total blocks.
