Erie, Pa. – In the first PSAC Crossover of the season, Millersville let 2-0 leads slip away first against Edinboro (25-19, 25-23, 17-25, 21-25, 15-10), and later versus Mercyhurst (25-16, 25-20, 18-25, 17-25, 8-15).

Millersville entered the weekend after suffering its first loss and losing two key players in Kayla Wallace and Brittany Ford against Philadelphia Tuesday night. It is yet to be determined if Wallace or Ford will return this season, but the Marauders will have to march on short-handed for the time being. Erin Harman had 27 kills on the night and Grace Dawson contributed 73 assists in the two matches. After recording 45 digs on the night, senior Brooklyn Smith is now eight shy of the all-time digs record at Millersville.
