HAMBURG, N.Y. – Penn State Altoona earned their 11^th straight NEAC win this afternoon after they claimed a 3-0 match victory over Hilbert College (0-16). The Hawks struggled from the service line giving the visitors an easy advantage as they improved to 17-4 overall.

For the match, Hilbert committed 15 service errors which allowed Altoona to inch away late in all three sets.

The Lions won the first set  thanks to a pair of their own services aces and a Hilbert serve error for the 25-17 win.

Altoona took set two in much the same fashion, 25-18 and then the third 25-13 for the victory.

Michael Podgorny was very reliable at the net.  The outside hitter finished with nine kills (.231) and he shared team-high dig honors (3) with Tanner Makowski.

Adam Heftka assisted 16 times and Caleb Nellis earned a pair of block assists.  Makowski earned Hilbert's solo block.

The Hawks return to action tomorrow morning at 9 am when they host Wilson College and close Saturday's six-game stretch with a 7pm game against Lancaster Bible College.
