Gwynedd Valley, Pa. – The Marywood University volleyball team needed five sets and extra points to dispatch Gwynedd Mercy University Thursday in Atlantic East action. With the 3-2 victory, the Pacers moved to fourth place with a 13-8 overall, 2-3 conference record.

Tied at 20-20, the Griffins went ahead on a Pacers' service error. A pair of Liz Schule kills extended the lead, and Cassie McCarney had an ace to take a 25-21 advantage.
