SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Never give up. That was the motto of the Shippensburg University women's volleyball team on Friday night from Heiges Field House as the Lady Raiders took two of the first three sets and rallied from a 12-7 hole in the fifth set to defeat PSAC Eastern Division rival Lock Haven, 3-2.

Shippensburg (5-8, 1-4 PSAC) snapped a five-match losing streak to the Lady Eagles that dated back to 2006 by remaining vigilant during long rallies and attacking the ball with determination. Facing Lock Haven, the best hitting team in the PSAC, SU was able to rack up 11 total blocks while serving 10 aces.

Offensively, freshman Jill Edwards and junior Libby Woffindin were in top form all night. Edwards was ripping kills from the front and back row on Friday night and totaled 20 for the match, hitting .294. Woffindin continued her attacking precision with 14 kills and just five errors, hitting .265.

Edwards finished with her fifth double-double of the season (20 kills, 16 digs) while sophomore Jenny Pry contributed her fourth (10 kills, 18 digs). Fellow sophomore Erin Flick had four kills, including the final one of the evening, to complement two service aces and five block assists.

The setters combined for 46 assists. Sophomore Andrea Heimsoth had 28 assists, 18 digs and three service aces to record her fourth double-double of the year. Junior Julie Fye added 15 assists and seven digs to the cause.

On Saturday, Shippensburg will host East Stroudsburg at 1 p.m. and Point Park at 5 p.m. from Heiges Field House.
