BLOOMFIELD, N.J. – University of the Sciences volleyball went out with a win.

It came down to at 15-13 fifth set but in its last-ever match, the Devils defeated Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) North Division champion Bloomfield in five sets for an emotional send-off on Saturday afternoon.

In doing so, University of the Sciences clinched its best CACC record since 2012 at 9-9.

Despite being tied for sixth in the league with those nine victories, the Devils miss out on a first CACC Tournament appearance since 2012 as the fifth-place team in the South Division.

After Bloomfield (12-8, 11-6 CACC) had saved two match-points, a Natalia Velez kill from Caelin Jaskot set off the celebration.

University of the Sciences had to comeback from a 4-8 deficit in the fifth to reach that moment, and it started with back-to-back kills by seniors Bianca Galis and Velez.

Following a Bloomfield point, Velez took over. After a Bears service error and Tori Wright ace, she finished the match with three straight kills to cap five unanswered to take the lead for good.

Two blocks by Jennifer Marrero, the second with Jaskot, would then set up the match point.

Marrero finished with a match-high five blocks, adding four kills on .429 hitting.

Wright tied for a match-high with 17 kills to become the 11th student-athlete in program history to surpass 600 career kills. She ended the day 10th all-time with 616 and also had a match-high three aces.

Also making history was Angeli Roman Medina, who led USciences with 27 assists to become the seventh student-athlete in program history to surpass 1,000 career assists.  

Natalia Velez was second on the Devils with 12 kills, while falling one dig shy of a team-leading 11th double-double, and Kerrigan Clem was third with eight.  

Playing her first collegiate match as libero, Sydney Lawless led all players with a season-best 10 digs.

After the two teams split 25-21 victories in the first and second, each team had a dominant set, with USciences taking the third 25-11 and Bloomfield the fourth 25-15 set up the winner-take-all fifth.
