EDINBORO, Pa. ­– For the first time since October 9, 2010 when Ursuline needed five sets to defeat Houghton College, the Arrows played in a match that needed to go the distance to decide a winner. Unfortunately, this one didn’t end with a favorable outcome as host Edinboro won the marathon match, 3-2.

Edinboro won the first set 25-21 before Ursuline bounced back and won the next two, 25-22 and 25-18. The Fighting Scots won the fourth set 25-22 before taking the deciding fifth set, 15-12.

Ursuline is now 1-9 while Edinboro won its home opener to improve to 1-8.

Junior Alex Leister had a team-high 11 kills to go with 13 digs and classmate Maureen Kelly posted seven kills and 17 digs.

Sophomore Kelly Stenger led the defense with 22 digs while junior setter Ashley Reinhart had 22 assists and seven digs.
