MEDIA, Pa. -- Lancaster Bible recorded a three-set sweep, sending Penn State Brandywine to its first United East Conference volleyball defeat of the season, by scores of 25-7, 25-19, 25-20 on Saturday.
Lancaster Bible got out to a quick start, leading the 16-4 and ran away with the first set by a 25-7 count.
