Volleyball Suffers First Home Loss

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. The Seton Hall volleyball team dropped its first home match of the season, losing to Notre Dame in three games (30-20, 30-22, 30-24).  The Pirates fall to 9-7 on the year (1-2 BE), while the Irish improve to 9-5 (3-0 BE).

Freshman Allie Matters (North Tonowanda, N.Y) led Seton Hall with 11 kills and 13 digs.  Sophomore Tricia Meyers (Cincinnati, Ohio) also had 11 kills along with a .383 hitting percentage.

In game one, the Pirates jumped out to an early 9-5 lead.  The Irish then mounted a 13-1 run on their way to a 30-20 win.  Notre Dame took a 20-13 lead in game two, but Seton Hall rallied to cut the deficit to 21-19, leading to an Irish timeout.  Notre Dame responded with a 9-3 run to win game two 30-22.   In game three, the Pirates looked strong at the start, taking an 8-5 lead, but the Irish were able to put together another run, taking the next seven points and the lead at 12-8.  The Pirates tried to come back, cutting the Notre Dame lead to four at 23-19, but the Irish held off Seton Hall, as they took game three and the match.

The Pirates are back in action again tomorrow, Sunday, Oct. 1, as they take on the DePaul Blue Demons at 2:00 p.m.
