GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Junior Laura Bergin (Charlottesville, Va./Western Albemarle) posted 19 kills and 21 digs, but it wasn't enough to lift Gettysburg College past Haverford College as the Fords held on for a five-set victory in a Centennial Conference volleyball match inside Bream Gym on Saturday.
 
Gettysburg (9-9, 1-2 CC) fell to Haverford (11-6, 2-1 CC) by scores of 20-25, 25-16, 25-22, 23-25, and 15-8. The Bullets salvaged a split on the day by defeating Randolph College (2-16) in three sets (25-13, 25-12, 25-17).
 
Gettysburg came out firing against the Fords and used a 6-0 run to take a 10-7 lead following a kill by sophomore Lauren Godshalk (West Chester, Pa./Bishop Shanahan). The hosts led by as many as eight in the first set.
 
Despite trailing early in the second set, Haverford ended the frame on a 15-4 run to even the score. The Fords trailed briefly in the third set prior to a 9-2 run which opened up an 18-11 lead. A hitting error by Meg O'Day allowed Gettysburg to cut the deficit to 24-22, but O'Day made up for the miscue by slamming down an overpass for the winning kill.
 
The Bullets never trailed in the fourth set, jumping out to a 7-2 lead and holding a 20-13 advantage later in the frame. Haverford roared back with a 9-2 run to tie the match at 22. With the score tied at 23, senior Courtney Morrow (Greenlawn, N.Y./Harborfields) and Bergin registered back-to-back kills to once again force a tie.
 
The two teams traded blows in the decisive set, but following a 5-5 tie the Fords leaped in front with a 6-1 spurt and never looked back.
