Baltimore, Md. - The Bucknell women's volleyball team beat Loyola College, 3-1, on Wednesday evening at Reitz Arena in Baltimore, Md.

Bucknell broke a four-match losing skid to start the season with a win last week at St. Francis (Pa.)
Loyola (0-8) took game one, 30-26, but Bucknell (2-4) took game two 30-26, game three 30-27, and game four 30-21 to win the match. Jackie Leahy led the team on offense, hitting .349 for the match with 20 kills. Jennie Smith recorded a match-high five service aces, and Chelsea Anderson led all defenders with 20 digs.
The Bison will return to action on Friday and Saturday when they host the Bucknell Invitational. Bucknell, Howard, Fairleigh Dickinson, and Dartmouth will all play three matches each over the two days. Bucknell's first match is at 6:30 p.m. against Howard.
