CHESTERTOWN, Md. – Washington College volleyball played host to Swarthmore on Wednesday night in a Centennial Conference matchup.

-Set two saw another fast start by the Garnet, jumping out to a 14-5 lead. The Shorewomen sparked another run to cut the lead to 19-15. Despite the charge, three straight errors by Washington gave the Garnet the cushion they needed to take set two comfortably in the end.
