THE REST OF THE STORY
• After Gettysburg jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the opening set, a Maggie Turner kill sparked a 4-1 counter to take a 4-3 edge. A block and
Ellen Manke kill put Gettysburg back in front, 5-4. The teams traded the lead before back-to-back Olivia DeVille aces gave the hosts a 9-8 edge and started a 9-2 stretch to open up a 16-10 lead en route to a 25-19 win.
• The Bullets took an early lead in the second set as well, 5-1. Trailing 9-5, Elizabeth Cella put down a kill to start a 6-0 burst and take an 11-9 edge. Two
Emma Bradshaw (East Setauket, N.Y./Ward Melville) kills around one from
Erin Gonzalez (Cincinnati, Ohio/Ursuline Academy) put the visitors back in front, 12-11. The Fords found themselves down 16-14 before Cella capped a 5-0 run with back-to-back knockdowns for a 19-16 edge en route to a 25-22 victory.
• Neither team led by more than two in the third set until three straight Gettysburg hitting errors gave Haverford an 11-7 lead. The Bullets clawed back within 15-14 on a Manke kill but could not get the set tied and the Fords completed the sweep, 25-21.
