Volleyball Quakers post come-from-behind victory September 2, 2005 The Quakers (1-1) defeated the Engineers 18-30, 26-30, 30-22, 30-21, 15-6, after falling to Wilmington 30-19, 24-30, 30-26, 30-27 earlier in the day. “The biggest difference was that we kept telling them to trust our defense and the offense would come,” Earlham head coach Natalie Alred said. “They never quit. They work their tails off no matter what happens.” Earlham’s lineup varied from the preseason scrimmages, which caused some difficulty in the opening contest against Wilmington. “It took a match to get used to it,” Alred said. “We were just too inconsistent.” But that changed as the Quakers battled with Rose-Hulman. “We’re playing smarter and digging a lot of balls and we were able to run all three of our defenses,” Alred said. “Another key was that when someone was struggling, we were able to pick them up and we didn’t do that last year.” Earlham opens play Saturday against Marian College, which won both of its matches in Pool A on Friday. The Knights defeated Wilmington 30-25, 30-15, 30-21 and then beat Rose-Hulman 30-14, 30-22, 30-23. The match begins at 11 a.m. with the final round pairings to be determined by the standings in each pool. The final round starts at 1:30 p.m. and the championship and consolation matches are at 3:30 p.m. Here are the results for Pool B: Urbana def. DePauw, 16-30, 30-28, 30-27, 30-28; Transylvania def. Taylor-Ft. Wayne 30-23, 30-25, 30-32, 30-26; Urbana def. Taylor-Ft. Wayne 30-23, 30-13, 30-23; DePauw def. Transylvania 30-25, 30-28, 30-26. Wilmington
