ERIE – Senior middle blocker Brianne Bachman had 11 kills, eight digs and four blocks and senior libero Lindsey Lullo turned in a career-high 42 digs as East Stroudsburg University posted a come-from-behind five-set win over Mercyhurst in its final match of this weekend's PSAC crossover trip to the northwestern corner of Pennsylvania.

The Warriors (7-17, 2-9) dropped the first two sets, 25-21 and 25-17, before storming back to take the final three sets, 25-18, 25-18 and 15-13 over the Lakers (15-7, 7-4). The win is ESU's first vs. a PSAC West school since beating Clarion, Edinboro and Shippensburg in 2006.

Senior outside hitter Alyson Stark and freshman middle blocker Ashley Lesniak had nine kills each and the Warriors posted eight blocks as a team. Stark had a solo block and three block assists and Lesniak contributed three block assists.

Freshman setter Allye Preziosi chalked up 38 assists and added 12 digs and freshman defensive specialist Heather Norris contributed 16 digs on the defensive side of the net.

ESU fell at Edinboro in four sets (26-24, 11-25, 23-25, 15-25) on Friday night and Gannon in three sets (17-25, 11-25, 18-25) on Saturday in its first two matches this weekend.
