WILKES-BARRE, Pa. -- The FDU-Florham volleyball team  improved to 2-1 in Freedom Conference play by sweeping King's College 3-0 (26-24, 25-21, 25-18) on Wednesday night at Scandion Gymnasium. 

The Devils (14-12, 2-1 Freedom) edged the Lady Monarchs (9-4, 0-3 Freedom) in the first two sets before claiming the final set in comfortable fashion.

With their backs against the wall, the Devils rallied from down 24-22 to stave off two set points for the Lady Monarchs before ultimately claiming the set 26-24. With momentum now on their side, the Devils cruised in the next two sets en route to the victory.

Freshmen Natalie Knudsen (Chester, N.J./Mendham) and Melissa Gaffney (League City, Texas/Clear Creek) had it working on Tuesday, as the tandem teamed up to total 28 kills in the match. Gaffney finished with a match-high 15 kills, while Knudsen tallied 13 kills in the win.
