WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Freshman
Kiannah Titus (Clay, N.Y./Baldwinsville) posted 10 kills and 10 digs for her second double-double of the season and sophomore
Lilly Singleton (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) finished with 13 kills while hitting .355 to lead the Lycoming College volleyball team to a 3-1 (25-19, 25-23, 13-25, 25-20) win over Mount Aloysius in non-conference action at Lamade Gym on Thursday night, Sept. 14.
Â
The Warriors (6-2 overall) hit better than .250 in all three sets they won, pounding down 45 kills in those three wins, but were hindered by a negative hitting percentage in the third set, helping the Mounties (2-8 overall) extend the match to four sets.
Â
Still, the team used a balanced hitting attack in the win, led by Singleton and Titus, as three other players also had more than five kills, with sophomore
Alysa McDevitt (Warminster, Pa./Archbishop Wood) finishing with nine kills and three blocks, freshman
Elle Jednorski (Forest Hill, Md./Fallston) adding seven kills, five digs and four blocks and sophomore
Katie Hausknecht (Emmaus, Pa./Emmaus) adding six kills and a block.

In the first set, the Warriors broke open a 16-15 set by posting a 9-4 run to close the set, with McDevitt notching a huge solo block to help close out the set. In the second set, the Warriors came back from a 12-9 deficit to tie the set at 13 and the two teams continued to battle to a tie at 23. Lycoming was able to take the set thanks to a pair of attack errors.
Â
After the Mounties won the third set, 25-13, the Warriors broke open a tie at 17 by posting an 8-3 run to win the set. McDevitt led the run with three kills and Singleton capped the run with a kill to clinch the match.
