Box Score CLARION, Pa. – After a tight first two sets, the Clarion University women's volleyball team bounced back in the third and fourth sets to defeat Seton Hill 3-1 Friday night at Tippin Gym.
 
"I think we did some really good things today," said Clarion head coach Jennifer Mills.  "When we were on tonight, we were on and we fired on all cylinders."

"I like the way we responded in the third and fourth sets," said Mills.  "It's what we really needed at the time.  Jocelyn came in and gave Carlie a break and she came in and did exactly what we needed her to do."
 
Emily Stewart led the way for the Golden Eagles with 17 kills and 13 digs.  Carlie Bieranowski finished with14 kills and six digs while Corinne Manley finished with 10 kills.

In the first set, neither team led by more than three points.  Seton Hill led 24-23 when Hannah Heeter was able to come up with a kill to tie it at 24.  Lauren Magalski followed that up with a service ace before Bieranowski closed the set with a kill.
 
In the second set, Seton Hill (24-6, 12-4 PSAC West) took control early.  The Griffins used a 10-2 run to lead 20-10 in the set.  Clarion then made things interesting by going on a 6-1 run to cut the lead to 21-16 but Seton Hill won four of the next five points to close out the set.
 
Clarion led 6-5 in the third set before going on a 14-5 run to take a 20-10 lead. The Golden Eagles closed out the set winning five of the next seven points to take a two to one sets lead.
 
"We made a couple of adjustments to defend the tip," said Mills.  "It was something we weren't able to pick up in the first two sets."
 
In the fourth set, the Golden Eagles led the entire way.  Clarion took an early 8-3 lead which forced Seton Hill to take a timeout.  The Golden Eagles then went on a 10-2 run to take an 18-5 lead before closing out the match 25-13.
