BOSTON
– The Northeastern volleyball team (10-7, 3-1) dealt Elon (8-6, 0-3) a 3-2 loss in an electric matchup on Sunday afternoon.  

Three Huskies broke career records during the game. Nicole Magbanua registered a career-high 17 digs against the Phoenix, helping to keep the Huskies afloat while Natalie Shollin set the pace for NU's offense, tabbing a career-high 19 kills and a .424 hitting percentage.
 
Samantha Shupe doled out 15 digs to add to her career-high 57 assists in the match.
 
The Huskies struggled to get their offense started against the Phoenix in the first and fourth sets. Elon pulled ahead and take set one, 25-16, and used a 9-2 early run for a 25-17 fourth set advantage.
 
However, they used their set break to come back with electricity, taking an early lead that they refused release in the second set, leading them to a 25-20 set win. This momentum carried the Huskies to take their second set win, 25-22, and pull ahead of the Phoenix, two sets to one.
 
The fifth set was energizing to those in the Cabot Center, as the teams rallied back and forth exchanging leads until the last point. The Huskies were eventually able to get the two-point advantage to give them a 19-17 fifth set win.
 
Up Next:
 
The Huskies are back on the road at UNCW (8-3, 1-0) on Friday, Oct. 5 for a 7 p.m. match.
