PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers fought back from a two-set deficit to take a 3-2 (22-25, 11-25, 25-19, 25-20, 15-13) over the Seton Hall volleyball team on Friday night. The Pirates (8-14, 2-4) are back in action next Friday at Connecticut.
Senior Sarah Osmun (Crystal Lake, Ill.) and junior Meghan Matusiak (Winfield, Ill.) led the Hall with 14 kills each. Sophomore Hannah Hugeback (Virginia Beach, Va.) had 22 digs, followed by classmate Kalie Marshall (North Royalton, Ohio) with a career-high 18.
With set one tied at 20, the Pirates got a kill from sophomore Morgan DeVries (Grand Rapids, Mich.) and a pair of errors by Rutgers (9-11, 1-5) to take a three-point lead. Osmun would close out the set with a kill to give the Hall a 25-22 win and a 1-0 lead.
Set two was no contest as Seton Hall raced out to a 20-6 lead before winning 25-11.
The Scarlet Knights fought back to take the next two sets and force a fifth. After leading 4-1, the Pirates fell behind by an 11-8 score before nearly rallying back. The Hall twice cut it to one and staved off a match point, but Emma Chrystal came up with a final kill to make it 15-13.
