Box Score Philadelphia, Pa. - (10/31/2015) – The Chestnut Hill College women's volleyball team welcomed Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) North Division rival Post University to Sorgenti Arena for today's Trick-of-Treat contest. Unfortunately, the trick was on the Griffins as the Eagles took the league match in three straight sets, 3-0 (25-23, 25-13, 25-19). Chestnut Hill College was captained by junior libero Regina Trabosh (Norristown, Pa.), who looked to stabilize the Griffin attack as best she could with a match-high 22 digs.
 
The opening set turned out to be the most competitive of the three with Post University (19-8, 12-3) staying slightly ahead of Chestnut Hill College (9-18, 8-6) after a grabbing the early lead on a pair of kills from junior middle hitter Skyler German (Kansas City, Mo.) and senior middle hitter Kristine Ripson (Youngstown, N.Y.), 25-23. The second set was the shortest of the afternoon as a seven-point service from freshman setter Brianna Root (Bristol, Conn.) separated the Eagles for an 11-6 lead that forced a Griffin timeout. The break served its purpose, cooling Root, but only temporarily stalling the Eagles, who found their mark again for a decisive 25-13 win.

Joining Root in the defensive effort was senior outside hitter Hailey Griffin (Plainfield, Conn.) (10 digs), senior libero Janiellee Alvarez (Norwich, Conn.) (21 digs), and a dominate blocking duo in junior outside hitter Morgan Griffin (Plainfield, Conn.) and junior middle hitter Nicole Brown (Queens, N.Y.), who partnered on five of the Eagles' nine blocks.
