READING, Pa- The Albright women's volleyball team found themselves down two sets to none to crosstown rival, Alvernia University, on Senior Night, yet, the Lions did not back down. The Lions challenged the Crusaders over the final three sets to win Thursday night's match 3-2 by scores of 21-25, 24-26, 25-20, 25-21, 15-10.

The Lions continued their offensive prowess and swung the momentum towards them to force a decisive fifth set. The Lions and Crusaders traded points with Alvernia holding an 8-7 lead as the teams switched sides. The Lions quickly erased their deficit and scored four of the next six points to take a 11-9 lead.
