ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. — The Bard College women's volleyball team hosted the Union Garnet Chargers for Pride Night at Stevenson Athletic Center on Wednesday, 16-25, 20-25, 20-25. 

Penelope Joosten Lingo had a team-high 14 digs and four aces. Paola De La Cruz led the team with 25 assists, adding eight digs, a block, an ace, and a kill. Isis Pribble posted a team-high ten kills, seven digs, two assists, and an ace. Ava Rhinehart tallied six kills on a team-high .357 hitting percentage. Xenia Vassou recorded four kills, a dig, and a block. 

Nala Roman had six kills and two blocks. Ninni Ylenius contributed five digs and an assist. Gia Gomez picked up two kills, two blocks, and two digs. Adrianna Howell notched a dig, Kylah Demers had a kill, and Alex Beer chipped in a block.

A 5-1 start by Union was answered with three straight from Bard. The Garnet Chargers slowly pulled away, with a one-point lead at 9-8 turning into a five-point edge after a 6-2 run made it 15-10. The Raptors had back-to-back kills from Roman and De La Cruz to make it 17-14, but Union took eight of the final ten points in the set.

In the second set, Bard responded from an early three-point deficit, scoring six of the next eight points to lead 6-5. The teams battled tooth and nail, with neither gaining more than a one-point lead for most of the set. At 15-15, the Garnet Chargers won three straight to make it 18-15. The lead was brief, as the Raptors won four of the next five points to knot it at 19-19. However, Union finished strong with a 6-1 run. 

Bard led 8-6 early in the third set after taking control. The Garnet Chargers bounced back, winning four straight points to turn the tide. The Raptors stayed with Union, tying the set at 12-12, 13-13, and 14-14 before the Garnet Chargers took a lead for good. In the final set, both teams matched their season-highs in kills and hitting percentage, while Bard led 3-1 in aces.
