The Muhlenberg volleyball team fell in four close sets to McDaniel in a rematch of a 2018 Centennial Conference playoff contest.

Neither team led by more than six points until the very end of the back-and-forth match. The Green Terror held off several Mule comeback attempts to pull out the win, 28-26, 25-21, 21-25, 25-19.

Playing in their home state, senior Tara Register (11) and sophomore Megan Ray (9) combined for 20 kills. Senior Maggie Enestvedt also recorded 9 kills.

Freshman Emma Eglinton notched her eighth double-double of the season with 38 assists and 19 digs, while junior Maya Illovsky reached the 20-dig mark for the fourth time in the last five matches, finishing with 25.

The Mules (10-13, 3-5) trailed 24-21 in the first set before saving three set points. Muhlenberg had a set point of its own at 25-24, but McDaniel (12-11, 6-3) scored four of the last five points.

In the second set, Muhlenberg cut a 20-15 deficit to 20-18 but could get no closer than two points.

The Mules grabbed an early lead in the third set and held on to win behind four kills from Enestvedt and three from Ray. 

The fourth set followed a similar pattern as the second, with Muhlenberg playing from behind from the early stages. The Mules closed to within one as late as 15-14 but could never catch up.
