The Ursuline College volleyball team picked up its first Great Midwest win of the season in a thrilling five set home match against Alderson Broaddus on Saturday afternoon.
The Arrows opened the match with a 25-20 win in the first set after jumping out to a 5-2 lead capped off by an ace from sophomore
Jill Morrow. Ursuline extended the lead to 9-3 after back-to-back kills from sophomore
Vikki Henderson.
The Battlers responded by winning the second set by the same 25-20 margin to even the match one set a piece. Alderson Broaddus took a 2-1 advantage after winning the third set 25-21.
Ursuline forced a fifth and deciding set by winning the fourth game 25-17 before closing the match in convincing fashion with a 15-3 win in the fifth.

Henderson finished by tying her season-high with 19 kills while freshman
Jessie Lee added 10 and Morrow chipped in eight. Junior
