GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg College picked off Ursinus College 3-0 in a Centennial Conference volleyball match inside Bream Gym on Saturday before dropping a five-set decision to St. Mary's (Md.) College later in the afternoon.

Gettysburg (10-11, 2-2 CC) had no trouble sweeping Ursinus (8-10, 1-2 CC) with scores of 25-15, 25-13, and 25-13. The Bullets jumped out to early leads in each of the opening two sets, but the Bears forced an eight-all tie at the beginning of the final frame. The hosts went on a 17-5 run to close the victory.

A well-rounded offensive effort by Gettysburg was paced by junior Virginia Hogan (Alpharetta, Ga./Chattahoochee) with eight kills. Freshman Courtney Cyr (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks West) posted seven kills, four aces, and five total blocks, while senior Nicole Burns (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro) logged five kills and 10 total blocks. Freshman Lizzy Kuhn (Wilmington, Del./Archmere) recorded a double-double with 25 assists and a dozen digs, tying junior Rebecca Rubenstein (Bedford Hills, N.Y./Fox Lane) for team honors in the latter stat.

The Bullets were upended in Saturday's finale by a streaking squad from St. Mary's (13-5). Gettysburg battled back from a 2-1 hole to win the fourth set 25-22, but the Seahawks closed the five-set win with a 15-13 victory in the decisive fifth frame, giving the team its ninth win in its last 10 matches.

Hogan capped an outstanding day on the attack with a career-high 21 kills, and she was one off her personal mark with 17 digs.

Senior Kate Yoder (Emmaus, Pa./Emmaus) tallied seven kills and six blocks.

Kuhn notched her second double-double of the day with 37 assists and 13 digs, while Rubenstein put up 20 or more digs for the seventh time this season, logging a team-high 21.
