Box Score 9/14/23
 
SCRANTON, Pa. – Lackawanna College scored the final eight points in the fifth and deciding set, completing a wild comeback for the 3-2 (23-25, 23-25, 25-18, 25-17, 15-10) victory on Thursday night in women's volleyball action against Lehigh Carbon CC at the Lackawanna College Student Union gymnasium.
 
The Falcons (3-3) fell behind 2-0 after a pair of narrow losses, then managed to find their groove in the next two sets to tie things up, but, when Lehigh Carbon took a 10-7 lead, the largest for either side in the fifth set, it seemed like the comeback was destined to fall short.
 
But Lackawanna had some fight left. A serve error gave the Falcons serve, and Gabriela Gomez (First Year; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) got a kill on a looping attempt that the Cougars couldn't handle to cut it to one. Maddilyn Durfee (First Year; Buffalo, NY) got a service ace to tie things up, and then Angelique Fuentes (First Year; Miami, FL) got a kill to give the Falcons the lead at 11-10 and force a timeout.
 
That timeout didn't stop the Falcons, as Durfee got another ace, followed by a tandem block from Zaliyah Small (First Year; Scranton, PA) and Gomez, a kill from Fuentes on an overpass, and match-point from a Gomez solo block to give the Falcons the thrilling victory.
 
Lackawanna College has now won three-straight, and the Falcons will look to keep things going with a tri-match on Saturday, September 16^th, when the Falcons are set to host Delaware Tech and Chesapeake College in the Lackawanna College Student Union gymnasium. Lackawanna is set to face Delaware Tech at 10:00am ET, and Chesapeake at 2:00pm ET.
