Volleyball Falls to American in Three Sets

WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University women's volleyball team dropped its season opener 3-0 to American University at McDonough Arena on Friday evening.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Hoyas and the Eagles battled early through the first set with neither team producing a lead larger than four points. Georgetown and American saw 15 ties and seven lead changes, including a Hoya rally to push the set past 25, before AU ended the frame 27-25.
  • Both teams exchanged tallies early in the second set before the Eagles pulled away to a 25-17 victory in the frame.
  • American scored six unanswered points to open the third set before the Hoyas battled their way back and capitalized on AU mistakes to rattle off four straight points for an 11-7 AU lead. 
  • After another run by the Eagles in the final frame, Georgetown rallied again, pulling to within four before dropping the final set 25-20.
