On a night where the Terrapin Volleyball showed some excellence on the defensive side of the ball, their good play was overshadowed by the amount of errors they committed.

The Terps (6-5) lost to VCU in four sets by the scores of 25-21, 19-25, 25-22 and 25-20.

After the second set, it looked as if the Terps might pull off the victory. In a decisive moment of the set, Lisa Scott recorded back-to-back blocks to put the team up 12-10. They eventually won the set 25-19.

But after the second set, it all went downhill for the Terps. They committed 42 total errors on the night, with 24 coming on the attack and 10 from serves.

So, after a dissapointing performance in tonight’s game, the team will try to rebound tomorrow against Howard at 1 and UMBC at 7.

TERP NOTE: Freshman libero Sam Rosario went down with what appeared to be a back injury on the 18th point of the fourth set, but she returned to action after a timeout a few minutes later.

Look for updates here tomorrow, and a full article on www.diamondbackonline.com on Monday.
