WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.- Hoping to turn the tables on a recent loss a few weeks back against Lynn University, the Palm Beach Atlantic University volleyball team was unable to reverse their fortune on Friday night as they hosted LU and witnessed a 3-0 sweep at the hands of the Knights. Tonight begins a busy weekend for PBA as they will travel to Lakeland, Florida tomorrow afternoon to take on Southeastern University.

Much like they did in their previous matchup, the Knights utilized a balanced hitting attack and a solid back row defensive effort to take down the Fish in what turned out to be a solid crowd at the Rubin Arena. LU put together two solid showing in the first two sets with 25-16 and 25-18 victories then was forced to come back from a 16-12 deficit in game three to earn a 25-21 win.

Haley Pratt, part of a lethal LU junior class, led all players on the night with 11 kills behind a solid .429 attack percentage. Florida Atlantic University transfer Kala Abdell also produced double-digits in kills with 10 to go along with 11 digs and a .182 attacking percentage.

Devon Woolard led Lynn from the setter’s position with 35 assists and eight digs while libero specialist Lacy Redwine posted 20 digs followed by Mallory Deneen with 16 digs.

PBA was paced by eight kills from senior Jennifer Eldridge who fell just two kills short of yet another double-double as she posted 15 digs to help aide the Sailfish defensive cause. Speaking of defense, freshman Heather Shulke turned in one of her finest performances of her young career with a match-high and career-high of 22 digs.

Jessica Way added in 14 digs to go along with 22 assists and a pair of kills from the setter position for Palm Beach Atlantic.

Sophomore Lanae Robinson turned in a solid overall showing as she earned the starting nod and came away with seven kills and a .182 attacking percentage.

PBA will head west for tommorrow’s match versus Southeastern University as the Sailfish will battle the Fire at approximately 3 p.m. in Lakeland.
