LA PLATA, Md.�After going 2-1 in pool play, Pitt Community College volleyball dropped a heartbreaker to Cape Fear Community College in the third-place game of the College of Southern Maryland Invitational. Having split the first four sets, the Bulldogs and Sea Devils moved to a deciding fifth frame Saturday and traded points until CFCC emerged with a 16-14 win to take the match. �(It was) a really fun, hard-fought match,� said PCC Coach Tom Marsh, whose team was powered offensively by Haley Galimore�s 16 kills and Jessica Sweers�s 34 assists. Holly Sears, who was named to the CSM Invitational All-Tournament Team, recorded 14 digs for Pitt against Cape Fear, which has now beaten the Bulldogs twice this season in non-conference action. PCC opened tournament play Friday with a 3-1 loss to West Virginia�s Potomac State College. Though the Dawgs won the first set, 25-22, they lost the next three, 26-24, 25-20 and 25-23. Galimore posted a team-high seven kills against the Catamounts, and Casey Ramer added five more. Eleni Bates led the way for Pitt in assists with 13, and teammate Natalie Salter finished with a team-high 18 digs. In Friday�s second game, Sweers had 11 assists as the Bulldogs blitzed Community College of Baltimore-Essex, 3-0. Courtney Everette, Kirsten Kelly, Morghan Stallings and Sears had four kills apiece for the Bulldogs, who won 25-17, 25-16 and 25-19. Pitt finished pool play in second place after a 3-0 (25-16, 25-17 and 25-22) win over Chesapeake College (Md.) Saturday. Sweers tallied 11 assists and eight services aces in the victory over the Skipjacks while Kelly and Stallings had five kills each.
