DURHAM, N.H. - The Providence College volleyball team dropped a three-set match on the road to New Hampshire Sunday afternoon in Durham, N.H., by scores of 25-16, 25-22 and 25-19. The Friars see their record fall to 10-17, 2-5 in America East play, while New Hampshire improves to 8-14 overall, 3-4 in league action.

The Friars were led by junior Lauren Fletcher (Syracuse, N.Y.), who notched a match-high 12 kills. Fletcher hit at a .391 clip for the match. Classmate Shelagh Dolan (Westford, Mass.) added six kills for Providence. Setter Carly Morrison picked up 20 assists, while adding five digs. Sophomore libero Cassie Muzzonigro (Gibsonia, Pa.) led the back row with 10 digs.

New Hampshire was led by Amy Keding, who picked up 11 kills. Lauren Laquerre and Taylor Dressing each added nine kills, while Destiny Tolliver picked up eight. Setter Sara Heldman picked up 28 assists. Three Wildcats recorded double-figure kills, as Heldman led the way with 14, Tolliver added 13 and Jayde Huxtable picked up 12 digs.

New Hampshire led the whole way in the first set, as Providence could not overcome seven errors. The Wildcats took the first set, 25-16, behind a .281 hitting percentage. The set saw five ties and three lead changes. Providence led 20-18, but then New Hampshire got a kill from Keading and back-to-back Providence errors to take the lead for good. UNH took the set, 25-22. The third set saw nine ties, with the last coming at 17-17. After a Justine Elliot kill gave the Wildcats the lead, the Friar attack continued to struggle and New Hampshire took advantage, taking the set, 25-19.
