PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Sophomore Taylor Jakubowski (Lake in the Hills, Ill.) had a double-double, but the Seton Hall women's volleyball team fell at Providence, 3-0 (22-25, 21-25, 21-25), to complete the 2021 season on Sunday.

Jakubowski recorded her team-best 16^th double-double of the season with a team-high 14 assists to go with 12 digs.

Junior Madeline Matheny (Wilmington, Del.) narrowly missed a double-double herself, collecting a team-best 10 kills to go with nine digs. Sophomore Cagla Bengi (Bursa, Turkey) had 11 assists and eight digs. Freshman Anna Holland (Waukesha, Wis.) had a team-best 14 digs and six assists.

SET 1:
Seton Hall dominated the first set early, scoring six of the first seven points. Providence bounced back to cut their deficit to 7-5, but the Pirates took off on an 11-4 run, and a block by Matheny and Julia Wilkins (Mason, Ohio) gave them a commanding 18-9 advantage. The Friars, however, came roaring back with a 14-2 run, turning a nine-point deficit into a three-point lead, 23-20. A kill by Wilkins and a block by Madison Frusha (Huntsville, Texas) and Emilee Turner (Kaysville, Utah) cut the Friars' lead to 23-22, but Providence recollected itself and scored the final two points of the set.

SET 2:
With the score tied a nine in the second set, Providence scored seven of the next nine points to take a 16-11 lead. The Pirates twice cut their deficit to just a single point, with a Friars' attack error bringing The Hall to within 22-21 late. Providence, however, bounced back and scored the last three points consecutively to win the second frame, 25-21.

SET 3:
Down early, the Pirates cut their deficit to 6-5 on a kill by Matheny, but Providence responded with four of the next five points to grab a 10-6 lead and prompt a Pirates' timeout. Out of the break, the teams played essentially even volleyball for the remainder of the set with the Friars' lead never getting greater than five points, but also never less than two. Providence had a match-high .300 attack percentage in the third set as they went on to complete the sweep with a 25-21 victory.
