BRADFORD, PA – The Alfred University women's volleyball team defeated University of Pittsburgh at Bradford on Tuesday evening, 3-0 in non-conference road action.
 
The Saxons (6-9, 2-2 Empire 8) are now on a three-match win streak with all of those being three-set wins, making it the first time since the 2000 season that they did that. They defeated the Panthers (3-15, 0-2 AMCC) 25-20, 25-19 and 25-22 on Tuesday.
 
"Coming off of two emotional conference wins it can make for a trap match. It's always good to get a quality non-conference win, especially against a team we haven't beat since 2000," Head Coach Mike Honeycutt said.
 
Taylor Malone (Horseheads, NY/Horseheads) and Casey Grange (Ithaca, NY/Ithaca) were the only players in the entire match to hit double-digit points.
