EAGLES GO ON THE ROAD AND EARN A HARD FOUGHT VICTORY

The Screaming Eagles took on PS-Abbington this past Thursday looking to get closer to .500 as they adjusted to life without starting setter Amy Cooper who is still recovering from a concussion.  The Eagles tweaked their lineup and placed the pressure of running the offense again on the shoulders of freshman Jenae Goodson.

Jeanae looked a lot more comfortable in this new role than the last match in which she was forced into action.  The team passed well and although the first set started with many offensive miscues, the Eagles slowly chipped away at a 6-1 deficit to eventually take the lead late in the set.  CSE controlled the set late and escaped with a 25-23 win.

The second set saw Jenae Goodson open up with 6 service points as the Eagles built an insurmountable 14-4 lead and never looked back in route to a 25-14 set win.

The final set saw a desperate Nittany Lion team fight for every point and Penn State actually held a 20-19 lead late in the match.  However, betwwen the serving of Jannet Chaudry and Rachel Hausler, the team closed out the match 25-23.

Kareemah Muhammad led the team in kills with 11 and Katie Cooper chipped in 6 while adding 2 aces.
Chanice Sears and Subhana Wrights added 9 kills out of the middle and combined for 3 blocks.

Jenae Goodson had a solid match, notching 19 assists and earning 1 ace and 2 digs.

CSE's record now stands at 4W - 7L.
