HAVERFORD, Pa. – The Haverford College volleyball team held on for a hard-fought 3-1 (25-21, 30-28, 22-25, 25-23) victory over Lebanon Valley College Thursday evening at Gooding Arena. The Fords were led by Haley Lowrance's career-high 19 kills and Kate Comey's career-high 60 assists.

In addition to Lowrance, three other Haverford (8-9) players reached double-digits in kills. Kelsey Cantwell had 15, Laura Ramos followed with 12 and Jenine Abbassi tallied 11 kills and no errors for a .550 hitting percentage. The Fords also added 12 points via services aces.

In the second set, the Fords battled back from a four-point deficit to go ahead, 21-20. The set went back-and-forth until consecutive kills from Cantwell and Olivia Coburn-Flynn put it away.

The fourth set was going in favor of the Dutchmen until a Ramos kill tied the score at 18-all. Consecutive HC kills gave the hosts a two-point lead but LVC tied things up before a pair of errors gave Haverford a lead it would not relinquish.
