COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – The Ursinus College volleyball team (6-11, 0-3) swept Albright, 3-0, on Thursday evening. The Bears came out firing right out of the gates and carried that throughout the match to get their sixth win of the season.

Leading 13-11, the Bears offense fired four kills to take a commanding 17-12 advantage. Katie Cressman sealed the set with her fifth kill to give Ursinus the early 1-0 lead.

The Bears took that momentum into the third set, taking an early 10-5 lead. Up 13-8, kills by Isabelle Deal as well as another pair of aces from Walborn put the Bears in control, 18-8. The Lions managed to pull back within five at 22-17, but a kill from Deal closed out the third set 25-20 and the match.
