It all came down to the deciding fifth game between Hagerstown Community College and visiting Allegany College in Maryland JuCo Conference women's volleyball action Wednesday night.
The Trojans held slim 7-6 lead over the Hawks in game five, before Amanda Clites served seven straight points to boost Allegany's lead to 14-6.
After giving up a point on a sideout, Allegany (8-2, 5-2) got the match point, after Hagerstown (13-11, 5-3) lost possession on a sideout, to win 23-30, 30-19, 16-30, 30-28, 15-7 and move into fourth place in the conference standings.
"It was the first time that we ever beat Hagerstown in a volleyball match," Allegany coach Linda Mellon said. "During the first three games, both teams were either up or down. The fourth game was very close. I am glad that our girls were able to pull out that win. We had a pretty big lead in the fifth game. We made an all-out effort. When that lead got bigger, that helped our girls' confidence."
