DELHI, NY- The Utica College volleyball team dropped a five-set heartbreaker Monday night as it fell to SUNY-Delhi, 3-2, in non-conference action.
 
The teams traded points in the first set before Utica was finally able to gain control and come away with a 25-22 win.  UC went on to take the second set 25-11 and was on its way to a win in the third set, before the Broncos went on a 12-3 run to come away with a 25-20 win in set three.  The fourth set was more back-and-forth action, but the home team was able to earn the 25-19 victory to force a deciding fifth set.
 
 With Utica trailing 14-13 in the fifth set, Hannah Voss (St. Louis, MO/Oakville) appeared to have evened the score, but the officials ruled that she made an attack error, which gave Delhi the winning point. 
 
Juniors Nicole Herringshaw (Syracuse, NY/Cicero-North Syracuse) and Hannah Voss (St. Louis, MO/Oakville) led the Pioneers with nine kills and eight kills, respectively, while classmate Miranda Stockbridge (Waterville, NY/Waterville) was right behind them with seven kills to her credit. Voss also tied Jessica Macheda (Cazenovia, NY/Cazenovia) for the team lead with three service aces.
 
Defensively, Herringshaw collected a team-high eight blocks, while Allison Della Penna (Batavia, NY/Batavia) recorded six total blocks.  Abigail Mosenthin (Dolgeville, NY/Dolgeville) led the squad with 20 digs, and Voss also chipped in with 17 digs of her own. 
 
The Pioneers return to action on Saturday as they welcome Morrisville State and Southern Vermont for a tri-match.
