DOYLESTOWN (Pa.) -- The Delaware Valley Unviersity women's volleyball team hosted MIddle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom foe King's College for its annual Dig Pink game, but came up short in a 3-0 match after a hard-fought first set. Set scores were 26-24, 25-12, and 25-11. 

The Aggies (3-14 overall, 0-3 MAC Freedom) were impressive in the first set as they fought the Monarchs (15-3 overall, 2-2 MAC Freedom) to an early 7-7 tie before ripping off five straight points to go ahead, 12-7. Krista Hiller led the charge from the service line. 

DelVal extended its lead to 21-14 after kills by Hiller and Tara Moffa, and a service ace from Jess Ellick. Out of a timeout, King's countered with a 14-3 run to close the game and win by two, 26-24. The Aggies had eight kills in the first set and forced the Monarchs into 12 errors.
