ORANGEBURG, N.Y.- Looking to halt its losing streak, the West Chester University women's volleyball team (10-13) took to the road on Wednesday night for its non-league finale against Dominican (N.Y.) (9-18). West Chester accomplished its mission impressively on Wednesday night, earning a convincing 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-19) victory over Dominican to end non-conference play on a high note before shifting its attention back to the final two weekends of PSAC East competition.

Defensively, Sydney Heffner (Bath, Pa./Northampton)led the team in digs with 16 while also chipping in a pair of aces.

The two sides traded points through the early part of the second set, but West Chester went on a 5-2 run to take a 10-8 lead early in the frame. West Chester continued this run, eventually stretching the lead to 16-9 midway through the second set, thanks to an 11-3 run, which eventually gave the visitors the separation needed to earn a 25-20 second set victory, taking a 2-0 lead in the match.

With a commanding two-set lead, West Chester raced out to an early 6-2 lead in the third set. Dominican cut the deficit to 7-5, but West Chester responded with a quick 3-0 run to restore order and stretch its lead back to 10-5. The Chargers would not go away quietly on Wednesday evening, responding well to the Golden Rams run with a 7-2 run of their own to even the set at 12-12. West Chester and Dominican traded points until things were tied at 17-17 late in the set.
