WEST CHESTER, Pa.- The West Chester University women's volleyball team (9-15, 1-8) returned to action on Friday night in Hollinger Field House against Bloomsburg (10-12, 2-9) in a PSAC East clash as West Chester looked for a win to keep its PSAC Tournament aspirations alive. West Chester found itself down a set early but rallied back to tie the match at 1-1 before falling to the visiting Huskies by a 3-1 (25-21, 16-25, 25-23, 25-19) final.

Finding itself down a set early, West Chester hit a stellar .462 (14-2-26) in its second-set comeback to win the set by a 25-16 final and tie the match at 1-1.

West Chester battled throughout the night and kept each set close, including tying the third set at 23-23 before a 2-0 Bloomsburg run gave the visitors a 2-1 lead heading into the fourth set. In the fourth set, Bloomsburg jumped out to a 21-12 lead and used this comfortable advantage to hold off a late West Chester surge, which included two kills each by Gwen Atkins (Morristown, N.J./Morristown) and Julia Kwitchoff (Niagara Falls, N.Y./Niagara Wheatfield) to close out the match with a 25-19 fourth-set victory.

Gwen Atkins in a strong individual performance, hitting .286 (16-6-35) with a match-high 16 kills and five aces, while also having a hand in three blocks, which was second best on the squad, trailing only Kwitchoff and her four.  Hailey Atkins (Morristown, N.J./Morristown) led West Chester in digs with a match-best 18, while Bria Stepp (Cranberry Twp, Pa./Seneca Valley) and Addison Hertzog (Morgantown, Pa./Twin Valley) handed out 23 and 16 assists, respectively.
