Waterbury, Conn. – Seniors Michelle Stublarec and Shannon Veale each had 17 kills and Ann Marie Nelson had seven blocks as the Post University women's volleyball team defeated Wilmington, 3-2 (20-25, 26-24, 25-19, 22-25, 15-13) in a wild Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) match on Saturday afternoon during Senior Day.

Set three saw the Eagles jump out to a 12-5 lead and never looked back. Veale had three kills during the opening run. Wilmington closed the gap to 14-13, but a 7-2 run to take a 21-15 lead ruined any chance of a Wildcats comeback.

In the fifth and decisive set, Wilmington jumped out to a 6-2 lead before the Eagles rattled off three points to cut the deficit to one, including a block by Stublarec and a kill from Nelson. Again, the Eagles snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as they rattled off four straight points and went from being down 12-10 to winning 15-13. Senior Caitlyn Cornish started the final rally with a kill and Veale ended it with one.

McGrath finished with 48 assists. Freshman Jayda Roman had 20 digs and junior Suzy Boulay had 19. Cornish finished with four kills and three blocks.
