Barthol sets career high in assists for Pride with 44

GLASSBORO, N.J. - The Widener University women's volleyball team competed in a pair of matches against Rowan and Catholic on Saturday, but could not pick up its first victory of the season against them.

The Pride lost to undefeated Rowan, 25-16, 25-22, 25-23, in their first match. In the second one, the Pride almost picked up their first win of the season, but fell to Catholic in five sets, 32-30, 17-25, 25-20, 22-25, 15-12.

The pair of defeats put Widener at 0-7 on the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST CATHOLIC
  • The Pride opened the match by scoring the most points they have had in a set this season. Trailing, 24-22, the Pride managed to force the game to go into a win-by-two situation after earning two straight points on a pair of errors by Rowan. After both teams kept exchanging points until it was tied at 30, the Pride won the set by receiving one of their team-high 13 kills from Abigail Herrin and scoring off a Rowan attack error.
  • After dropping the second set, the Pride won the third game by breaking a 20-all tie by winning the final five points of the game. Emily Miller had two aces and Shannon Toomey had a kill during that stretch.
