BOX SCORE

Purchase, NY (October 20, 2009) – The DeSales University volleyball team continued its winning combination as the Bulldogs rolled past Manhattanville College, 3-0 (25-11, 25-18, 25-15), for their 12^th straight victory in Freedom Conference action on Tuesday night.

The win improves the Bulldogs to 17-6 overall and 5-1 in the Freedom Conference. DSU clinches its third straight Freedom Conference playoff berth with the win but still has work to do, needing a win over King's College next week in its final regular season match of the season to clinch the #2 seed and a home playoff match in the first round of the Freedom Conference playoffs.

All 14 players saw action in the win on Tuesday night including junior Kylie Fehnel (Nazareth, PA/Bethlehem Catholic) who led the attack with 13 kills and a .444 hitting percentage. Sophomore Lauren Hickey (Ridley Park, PA/Ridley) added eight kills and senior Jen Mellon (Media, PA/Penncrest) added six kills.

Freshman Justine McNulty (Collegeville, PA/Methacton) totaled 21 assists and 10 digs, sophomore Katie Dziuma (Bronx, NY/Preston) finished with seven assists and 10 digs, freshman Eden Reichard (Mertztown, PA/Brandywine) led the way with seven service aces, senior Kerri Andrews (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic) and junior Alyssa Poplaski (Mechanicsburg, PA/Mechanicsburg) each had 12 digs for the Bulldogs.

DeSales will look to tie the program's all-time record for most consecutive wins on Thursday when they travel to Albright College for a non-conference match beginning at 7:00 pm.
