ASTON, Pa.—The University of Scranton volleyball team dropped a pair of matches Friday evening in the opening round of the Neumann Invitational.

The Royals, now 3-8, received 12 kills and seven digs from junior outside hitter Julia Crilly (Rochester, NY/Aquinas Institute) and 30 assists from freshman setter Brittany Cafiero (Merrick, NY/Kellenberg Memorial), but it wasn’t enough to hold off Richard Stockton, 3-1, in their first match.

Sophomore middle hitter Rachael Cisto (Oxford, Conn./Sacred Heart Academy) contributed seven kills and two blocks and freshman libero Victoria Reilly (Bay Shore, NY/Bay Shore) finished with 10 digs.

In a 3-1 loss to Widener University in the nightcap, Crilly recorded a season-high 23 kills and added 13 digs to record her sixth ‘double-double’ of the season.  In addition, she moved into 10th place in kills all-time in Scranton history with 931.

 The Royals also received six kills and 14 digs from senior Michaela McCrudden (Fort Washington, Pa./Mt. St. Joseph Academy), 20 digs from Reilly, 31 assists from freshman setter Bailey Woods (Wallingford, Pa./Strath Haven), and four blocks from senior Kelly Johnson (Pearl River, NY/Pearl River).

Johnson now has 195 total blocks in her career, which is currently tied for 13th on the Royals’ all-time list.

Scranton will return to action tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 p.m. against Bryn Mawr and Neumann at 3:00 p.m.
