O’Laughlin delivers 12 kills in five-set win for Bentley
Former Baler and current Bentley University senior Morgan O’Laughlin had 12 kills and a solid .370 hitting percentage in a five-set victory against Assumption College on Tuesday, the Northeast-10 Conference opener for both teams.
Bentley (1-2, 1-0) took the first two sets in convincing fashion, 25-17 and 25-15. However, the Greyhounds (5-3, 0-1 NE-10) battled back with 25-22 and 25-23 victories in the next two to force the decisive final set — a 15-9 Bentley victory.
The Falcons launch their home schedule this weekend when they host the annual Bentley Invitational Friday and Saturday.
