WESTMINSTER, Md. - McDaniel College volleyball junior Nia Roberts and sophomore Allyson Burgee combined for 11 kills in the team's 25-13, 25-17, 25-16 loss to Mary Washington Wednesday at the Gill Center.

First Set

McDaniel fell behind 6-1 in the opening set before rallying with three consecutive points, two of which came on kills by Burgee and Strouse. The Green Terror cut the lead to 7-6 on a second kill by Burgee before a 4-0 run by the Eagles increased their lead to 11-6.

Leading 17-10, the visitors scored seven of the next eight points, including five on four McDaniel attack errors and one service error.

Second Set

The Green Terror fared much better in the second, totaling nine kills as the set featured four ties and four lead changes over the first 17 points.
