QUINCY, Mass.- The Eastern Nazarene College women's volleyball team dropped a 3-2 decision to Suffolk Tuesday evening at the Lahue Physical Education Center.

The Lions slip to 3-6 on the season while the Rams improve to 2-3 overall with the result.

Kayla Dean (Lansdale, Pa.) racked up 36 assists while Rebecca Ashman (Havre de Grace, Md.) and McKenzie Walling (Rock Hill, S.C.) both recorded 11 digs.

The visitors claimed an early 1-0 lead with a 25-20 win in the first set.
