Gophers' Comeback Bid Against Profs Falls Short
GLASSBORO, N.J. — Down 2-1 after the third set, Goucher managed to win the fourth set against Rowan tonight, but that was as far as the comeback would take head coach Michael Bossom's squad. The Profs prevailed in the decisive fifth set to secure a 3-2 non-conference victory over the Gophers.

GLASSBORO, N.J. — Down 2-1 after the third set, Goucher managed to win the fourth set against Rowan tonight, but that was as far as the comeback would take head coach Michael Bossom's squad. The Profs prevailed in the decisive fifth set to secure a 3-2 non-conference victory over the Gophers.
Set scores were 16-25, 25-13, 25-12, 19-25, 15-11.
Freshman outside hitter Megan Chalk (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) and senior opposite hitter Kasey Quinn (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) both reached double figures in kills for the Gophers (7-18), who split the two five-set matches they played earlier this season. Chalk finished with 14 kills and 16 digs; Quinn had 24 digs to go along with her 11 kills.
Senior setter Claire Sauvage-Mar (New Delhi, India/American Embassy School) recorded 30 assists.
The Profs (15-11) had not defeated Goucher in the sport of volleyball since 2003.
