MIDDLETOWN, Pa. - Penn State Harrisburg women's volleyball team earned an impressive 3-0 victory over Moravian at the Capital Union Building on Thursday night, Sept. 22.  

Emmaline Stevens and Tori Henderson were the offensive leaders of the night for the Blue & White, producing 21 kills between the two of them, while Alyssa Snyder provided many quality assists to her fellow Lions. Henderson also made her mark on defense, but Olivia Koicuba lead the team with 18 digs. 

In the opening set, the match began with a back-and-forth battle between Penn State Harrisburg and the visiting Greyhounds before the Lions took the lead and kept it. During the second set of the night, Moravian got down early, which forced them to burn both of their timeouts, and the Hounds were unable to catch the home team by the end. The last set proved to be the most competitive, with a final score of 25-22, where Moravian fought to the very end, but the Lions earned the victory with 3-0 non-conference sweep.
