BALTIMORE, MD – The Delaware State University volleyball team looked as
though they were going to leave Hill Field House with a victory Sunday
afternoon, but Morgan State had other ideas as they came from behind to
defeat the Hornets, 3-2 (25-23, 18-25, 26-24, 22-25, 12-15) in

Freshman
Jasmine Jackson (South Riding, Va.) also saw double figure digs with
14. Additionally, Jackson posted eight kills, two aces, one assist and
four block assists.
