Johnstown, PA

5960The Pitt-Johnstown volleyball team made it three straight wins and improved to 13-10 overall and 7-4 in the PSAC Central Division with a 25-20, 25-10, 25-14 sweep over Bloomsburg University, Saturday afternoon in the Sports Center.  Maura Brehl's match-high 13 kills and 11 digs led the Mountain Cats.
 
Pitt-Johnstown used an 8-2 run to build a 13-6 first-set lead on Noelle Carota's service, before Bloomsburg got a kill from Mary Kate Mooney and a Grace Giza block to cut it to 13-11.  The Huskies were able to pull to within one at 18-17, but the  Mountain Cats quickly increased it back out to four on Hailey Mackenthun's ace, and sealed the 25-20 win with kills from Caitlin Vrabel and Brehl.
 
Following Carota's kill early in the second set, Pitt-Johnstown added five more points off of Erin Carmody's serve to race out to a 12-4 lead.  The Mountain Cats continued to pour it on and went on to outscore Bloomsburg, 13-6 the rest of the way.  Brehl's kills got Pitt-Johnstown lead into double digits at 16-6 and a combined block from Grace Miller and Rebecca Miller wrapped-up the 25-10 win.
 
In the final set, the Mountain Cats broke a 7-7 tie with six straight points, including a pair of Grace Miller kills, to go in front 13-6.  Pitt-Johnstown never let Bloomsburg get closer than five on it way to completing the sweep with a 25-14 win behind kills from Vrabel and Shaelyn Foy.
 
Brehl finished with a match-high 13 kills and 11 digs, while Carota had nine kills, a pair of aces and 15 digs, and Vrabel added nine kills for Pitt-Johnstown.  Grace Miller chipped-in seven kills and two blocks.
 
J.C. Longeville collected a match-high 35 set assists and eight digs, and Carmody had three assists, an ace and a match-high 16 digs for the Mountain Cats.
 
Sarah Gomish's six kills, and Giza's five kills and four blocks paced Bloomsburg, which fell to 5-15 overall and 1-10 in the PSAC Central Division.
