Spartan Streak Snapped in Five-Set Loss to Messiah

York's 10-match home win streak halted by Falcons

YORK, Pa. - The Spartans saw their 10-match home streak snapped Wednesday night in a 3-2 loss to Messiah in a MAC Commonwealth showdown.

Team Records
Messiah 11-1 (3-0 MACC)
York 6-4 (2-1 MACC)

How It Happened
  • The Falcons jumped on the Spartans by taking a two-sets-to-none lead, including a convincing 25-14 victory in the opening set as they hit a collective .560 in the frame. The second set played out much more evenly, but the Falcons ultimately prevailed, 25-23.
  • York fended off a sweep by taking the third set, 25-18. Claire Shorb led the Spartan offensive effort with four kills on a .429 hitting percentage while Abby Diehl racked up 10 assists in the set. The Spartans utilized a key 5-0 late to clinch the set as they stretched a 19-16 lead into a 24-16 advantage.
  • The Spartans came back to tie the match, 2-2, by edging Messiah, 25-23, in the fourth set. The two teams went back-and-forth the whole with neither side owning more than a three-point lead at any point. Morgan Nolte led all players in the set with six kills on just eight attempts and had the kill which gave York the critical 23-20 lead down the stretch. Diehl also fueled the offense with a staggering 15 kills in the fourth set alone.
  • The Spartans seemed well on their way to completing the comeback as they led 8-3 at the break in the fifth set. However, Messiah would go on a 12-5 run to finish the set on their way to a 15-13 win as York struggled to gain traction offensively with a .045 hitting percentage.

Up Next
The Spartans remain at home for a pair of matches on Saturday with Penn State Behrend and Alfred. 

Notes
York's 10-match home win streak, which started with a 3-0 win over Penn State Harrisburg on Sept. 11, 2021, was the third-longest in program history … the Spartans have now lost just two matches on their home floor in the last two seasons with a mark of 12-2 … the loss also marks their first conference defeat at home since joining the MAC Commonwealth last season … Messiah remains undefeated away from this season as the Falcons are 2-0 in road matches and 4-0 in neutral site contests … York posted a season-best 13 blocks on the night which is the team's highest total since 2019 (13) … Sydney Wilber and Morgan Nolte led the way with five blocks each on the night … Nolte also matched her season-high with 13 kills as a quartet of Spartans (Megan Rizzi - 15, Claire Shorb - 11, Jennifer Taylor - 11) notched double-digit kill totals .. Abby Diehl racked up 47 assists, which is one shy of her career-best mark; she now has three matches this season with 40-plus assists … Jasmine Doguin led York with a season-high 17 digs from her libero position.
