Volleyball Spotlight: Devils Rally to Defeat Holy Family Wednesday, September 20, 2006 By Bob Heller USIP Sports Information Director The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia came back from an 11-point deficit in the final game of their match tonight against Holy Family University to defeat the Tigers 3-1 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference matchup at the Bobby Morgan Arena. The Devils trailed 21-10 in the fourth game and it looked as if the match was headed to a fifth and final game. However USP went on a 6-2 run to make the score 23-16. The Tigers added two more points to boost their lead back up to nine 25-16 before USP forced a sideout to regain serve trailing by eight 25-17. After a Tiger timeout Andrea Cardine (Fr., Reading Central Catholic/ Temple, Pa.) served five straight points to pull the Devils within three 25-22 and force another Holy Family timeout. Momentum however was on the Devils side and Cardine served out the match with eight more points for a total of 13 straight service points to give the Devils a 30-25 win. The Devils took game one, 30-24 before dropping game two 30-27. USP cruised to a 30-18 game three before their big come-from-behind victory in game four. The win, USP's third straight, improved their record to 4-6 overall and 2-1 in CACC games. Holy Family dropped to 4-11 overall and 2-3 in league play. Offensively the Devils were led by Olja Marjanovic's (Jr., Chaminade-Madonna Prep/North Miami Beach, Fla.) 16 kills (2 errors in 29 swings, .483 attack percentage). Lindsey Wenderoth (Jr., Owings Mills HS/Owings Mills, Md.) and Kirsten Lechner (Fr., DePaul Catholic/ Wayne, NJ) also recorded double-doubles in the match. Wenderoth had 15 kills and 16 digs while Lechner, in only her third career start, had 14 kills and 22 digs. Claire Tauschek (So., Middleton HS/Verona, Wis.) recorded her second consecutive match with 30 or more digs, netting 33 on the evening.

Neither team led by more than two points in the early part of the first game with the Tigers holding a slim 12-11 mark after the first complete rotation. The Devils then went on an 8-4 run with Wenderoth serving the final five points of the rally to take a 19-16 lead and force a Tiger timeout. After the timeout the Tigers forced a sideout and scored off serve to pull within one, 19-18.
