The Muhlenberg volleyball team had its three-match winning streak snapped in three sets at Gettysburg.

The Mules (9-8, 2-3) battled tough in all three sets. In the first, they cut a 17-12 deficit to 22-20 before the Bullets (9-7, 2-3) scored the final three points to nail down the set.

Muhlenberg was two points away from tying the match in the second set, opening up a 23-17 lead. Gettysburg scored the next five points, however, and staved off set points at 24-22, 24-23 and 25-24. The Mules saved set points at 26-25 and 27-26, but the Bullets eventually won, 29-27.

Still reeling from the second set, Muhlenberg fell behind 10-4 early in the third. But again the Mules came back, closing to within a point at 21-20. Gettysburg was able to hold on, though, closing out the match at 25-22.

Senior Megan Ray led the Mules with 10 kills, reaching double figures for the fourth time in the last six matches. Freshman Esmae Oehler finished with 9 kills, 13 digs and 3 aces. Freshman Rachel Jacobs added 4 kills and combined for 5 blocks.

Sophomore Alyssa Faville (pictured above) paced the defense with 22 digs, tying her high for a three-set match, and added a pair of aces.
