Box Score

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Playing its third consecutive five-set match, the Gettysburg College volleyball team's luck finally ran out as host Gallaudet University won the final 15-13 to defeat the Bullets in a non-conference match Wednesday night.

Gettysburg (14-7) had defeated both Haverford College and Swarthmore College in five sets in its last two outings. After winning the first set 25-16, the Bullets fell behind as Gallaudet (19-6) won the next two 25-12 and 25-19. The visitors bounced back for a 25-19 win in the fourth frame, but the hosts tallied the final four points to win the decisive set 15-13.

The loss marred an outstanding defensive performance by senior Rebecca Rubenstein who set a personal mark with 39 digs. Rubenstein's total was just six shy of the school record set by Carla Privateer '94 in 1992 and it was the most by a Bullet since Steph Vial '07 put up 43 against Otterbein University in 2006.

Senior Virginia Hogan led the attack with 13 kills and posted 15 digs. Freshman Cydney Bracken put down nine kills and sophomore Sarah Gorski logged seven kills and four total blocks.

Senior Katie McConville posted six kills to go with 15 digs. Sophomore Lizzy Kuhn dished out 25 assists and recorded nine digs.
