Delaware 3, Towson 0: The University of Delaware volleyball team used a pair of big comebacks in the opening two games to win their second straight match with a triumph over Towson.

The Blue Hens, who have won four of their last five contests to improve to 10-14 overall and 4-7 in the Colonial Athletic Association, captured the match by set scores of 28-26, 25-21, 25-21. The Tigers dropped their second straight contest while falling to 19-7 overall and 6-5 in league action.

UD senior outside hitter Autumn Jenkins again led the way for the Blue Hens with team-highs of 16 kills and 13 digs, while she committed just two attack errors to hit .400 for the night. Fellow senior Lauren Talley added a career-high 12 kills against just one error as she posted a .440 attack percentage, while classmate Alexa Swann contributed nine kills without an error to hit .409 in the win. UD hit .312 as a team, its highest attack percentage since the season-opening win over Coppin State.

Senior setter Erin Layne handed out 36 assists and made nine digs on the night, while libero Taylor Hollingsworth chipped in with 12 digs of her own.

Jocelyn Kuilan led Towson with 13 kills, while Carola Biver added 11 and Anna Holehouse posted a match-high 17 digs.

The Tigers broke a 6-6 tie early in the first set by winning six straight points, and looked to be in control of the game up 22-17. But the Blue Hens roared back with a 7-1 spurt to take a 24-23 lead, and after Towson saved a pair of set points, kills by Corey Perkins and Layne gave Delaware the early lead.

Towson again jumped in front during the second game at 15-9, but the Blue Hens stormed back again with a dominating 14-4 spurt to take a 23-19 advantage. The Tigers answered with two of the next three points, but Swann posted a kill to end the game and put Delaware up two sets.

The third frame was knotted at 10-10, but Delaware captured six of the next seven points and led the rest of the way. Towson closed within a pair three times down the stretch, but Jenkins punctuated the match with two consecutive kills to seal the Blue Hen victory.
