GRANTHAM, Pa.:  Senior Hailey Barger (Sitka, AK/Sitka) led the Knight's attack with 7 kills against a strong Messiah College squad that combined for a .237 attacking percentage with the host Falcons defeating Arcadia University 3-0 in Wednesday night's Commonwealth Conference match. 

Set scores were: 25-17, 25-6, 25-25. 

Arcadia (4-11 overall, 0-5 CC) remains in search of their first league win of the season with two more tries remaining on their schedule against Lebanon Valley on the road (10/18) and Elizabethtown at home (10/26).   Messiah improves to 14-5 overall with an unblemished league record of 5-0.
