BALTIMORE, Md. – The UMBC women’s volleyball team lost a 3-2 (30-24, 30-28, 26-30, 27-30, 22-20) decision to Morgan State on Saturday evening. UMBC, which rallied from two sets down, fell 22-20 in the final set as Morgan State won their first-ever match against UMBC in nine meetings. UMBC moves to 6-8 on the season while Morgan State improves to 5-6.
Freshman outside hitter Ivanti Bush set a career-high with 31 kills and added 14 digs, to record her sixth double-double of the season, while fellow junior outside hitters Esther Johnson and Jeniqua Moran added 18 and 16 kills, respectively to lead Morgan State.
The Retrievers (6-8) were led by last week’s America East Rookie of the Week, Ashley
Oscars, who finished with 23 kills and Sarah Fillmore added 20 kills. Jennifer Wylie totaled a team-high 19 digs and recorded three of the team’s six service aces.
