READING, Pa. -- Returning to the friendly confines of the Bollman Center was not enough for the Albright volleyball team as the Lions dropped a 25-13, 25-13, 25-21 MAC Commonwealth decision to Lebanon Valley on Wednesday.

It marked the Lions first home match in almost a month as Albright had played eight consecutive road, or neutral site, matches.

Albright, which fell to 3-13 overall and 0-5 in conference play, struggled to find an offensive rhythm against the Dutchmen. Albright hit -.500 in the first set, .000 in the second set and .139 in the third set.

Sophomore Maddy Greth registered eight kills, four digs and one block to lead Albright, while Victoria Wainwright had four kills and a block. The Lions also received three kills and three digs from freshman Katie Schmerse and 10 digs from Becca Davis. For Davis, it marked her eighth consecutive match in which she has posted double figures in digs.

Lebanon Valley, which raised its record to 13-6 overall and 3-1 in the MAC Commonwealth, got a match-high 10 kills from Alli Quirk and eight kills from Amber Deshong. Allie Garrett led the Dutchmen defensive effort with a match-high 13 digs.

Lebanon Valley took control of the first set from the outset.

The Dutchmen raced out to a 15-6 lead as Morgan Webb served five straight points. With Lebanon Valley leading 16-7, Greta Weidemoyer served six consecutive points to push the lead to 22-8.

Lebanon Valley closed out the first set 25-13 on a kill by Chloe McCarty.

The second set was more of the same as the Dutchmen jumped out to an early 13-6 lead. The Lions were never able to get closer than six points for the remainder of the set as Lebanon Valley posted a 25-13 win.

The third set was tightly contested throughout and the Dutchmen needed a late rally to overtake the Lions.

Albright held a 17-16 lead after a Lebanon Valley attack error and a kill by Schmerse, but the Dutchmen responded with a 4-0 run to take a 20-17 lead.

A Lebanon Valley service error brought Albright to within 20-18, but a kill by Nina Mentzer and a service ace from Emily Sides upped the lead to 22-18.

Schmerse recorded a kill to trim the lead to 22-19 and Mackenzie Walck and Greth exchanged kills giving Lebanon Valley a 23-20 lead.

Jenelle Headed posted a kill to cut the lead to 24-21, but an Albright service error wrapped up the set, and the match, 25-21.

Albright returns to action on Oct. 13 when it hosts Goucher at 7 p.m. in the Bollman Center in a non-conference match.
