GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg reeled off the first 15 points of the fourth set to help seal a 3-1 victory over visiting Haverford College in a Centennial Conference volleyball affair inside Bream Gym on Saturday afternoon.
 
Gettysburg (8-9, 2-1 CC) dropped the first set against Haverford (10-4, 1-1 CC) 25-22 before sweeping the final three 25-22, 25-21, and 25-18. The Bullets ran out of gas in their second contest of the day as Elizabethtown College (11-8) overcame a two-set deficit to win in five sets (16-25, 25-27, 25-22, 27-25, 15-10).
 
After three tightly contested battles, Gettysburg raced out to a 15-0 advantage in the opening set with sophomore Hannah Bentz (Shrewsbury, Pa./Susquehannock) holding serve. Bentz racked up four aces, while senior Sarah Gorski (Darien, Conn./Darien) put down four kills during the scoring spree.

After falling to Haverford 3-1, Elizabethtown saw the Bullets dash out to a 9-1 lead en route to a win in the opening set. Gettysburg took a back-and-forth battle in the second set before the Blue Jays came alive, leading throughout set three and holding sway in most of the fourth contest. Gettysburg rebounded from a five-point deficit in the fourth frame to eventually draw match point at 25-24 before the visitors ran off the final three points to tie the match at two sets apiece.
 
In the decisive fifth set, Gettysburg earned an 8-6 advantage following an ace by Bergin. Elizabethtown stormed ahead to win nine of the next 11 points with three coming via service aces.
