Against PSU Harrisburg, Courtney Gernert, of Palmyra, had seven kills; Catie Aviles, of Robesonia, had 10 assists; and Gernert and Rachel Heller, of Allison Park, each had two digs.

"We need to clean up our unforced errors. We would have beaten those teams if we would have handled the ball better on our side of the net," said first-year coach Monica Brown.

Looking at the start of PSUAC action on Thursday, Brown said, "I think we're gaining more confidence in ourselves as we play and I think we'll be pretty strong going into conference play."
