GREENSBURG, Pa. - Millersville women's volleyball rallied from a first set defeat to top Seton Hill 3-2 (10-25, 25-18, 25-15, 22-25, 15-11) for a key PSAC road win Saturday afternoon. 

It was a bounce-back performance for the Marauders, who suffered a heartbreaking five-set loss to Cal U less than 24 hours earlier. It was also the Marauders' first-ever win over Seton Hill, a NCAA Tournament team in 2018. The Griffins dropped to 5-5 (1-1) with the loss while Millersville boosted its record to 11-4 (1-1). 

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
•  Seton Hill opened the match with lights-out hitting, totaling 15 kills to just one error while also recording five service aces in the one-sided first set win. Millersville responded, though. Led by Jayci Suseland's five kills, the Marauders totaled 13 kills to one error in the 25-18 second set win, and rolled in the third set behind six kills from Suseland and six service aces. Three of those aces came from Chyna Gubbings. 
•  Looking to close out Seton Hill in four, the Marauders built an early 13-9 lead before Seton Hill went on a 9-2 run. The Griffins continued to pull away and led by as many as four before closing out the Marauders, 25-22. 
•  In the fifth, the teams traded the first eight points, but a Lindsey Blevins kill started a 5-0 Marauder. Millersville led the rest of the fifth set, with Seton Hill closing to within no closer than two points at 11-9. Suseland's kill put the Marauders at a 14-10 match point, and the match ended on a Seton Hill attack error. Haley Butler led Millersville with three kills in the set. Freshman Carley Baughman recorded two of her six kills in the set.

THOUGHTS FROM COACH BRIAN SMITH
• On the slow start: "We started out looking slow. The first set got away from us. They hit three serves that hit the tape and fell over. It was bad luck and threw us off a little bit. I had a conversation with the captains and seniors before the match and reminded them to let last night's match go. We knew it was going to be a battle today. We needed to focus on what we needed to do and not focus on the score. After the first set, it was a reminder that it was only one set. If we could improve our passing, we could hang with that team."
• On adjustments after the first set: "We made a change today after last night. We started using Chyna as a middle. We let Chyna serve because she serves deep and teams have a problem with that. She's also a strong defensive player. It worked out well for us today. We also subbed in Samantha Miller as a server in the fifth set and she played well on defense. Her passing was strong, so that was significant for us."
• On beating Seton Hill: "This match was significant. We pulled the team together and I said 'thank you for my first win over Seton Hill.' But the fact that we battled back after last night is big and it's a win that helps us keep pace in the division." 

NOTES
• Dalstad recorded four aces for the second time this year. The four stand as a season-high for the team. 
• Millersville's 10 aces were the second-most of the season. 

UP NEXT
• Millersville's returns home for a pair of PSAC matches on Friday, Oct. 4 and Saturday, Oct. 5. Pitt-Johnstown comes to Pucillo for a 7 p.m., start time on Friday.
