Cameo Neeman posted 25 kills and nine blocks

NEWARK, DE -- The University of Delaware volleyball team almost pulled off a dramatic comeback win in its 2000 season finale Saturday night, but the Hens fell just short in losing 3-2 (15-9, 15-9, 11-15, 8-15, 15-13) to Northeastern at Barbara Viera Court.

After losing the first two games, Delaware responded by winning the next two and led 7-6 in the fifth game, but Northeastern would tie the game and not trail again. Delaware was led by Cameo Neeman, who posted 25 kills and nine blocks, and Allison Hunter who set a freshman record with 65 assists, breaking her old mark of 62 set earlier this year.

Delaware, which finishes the season at 15-17 overall and 8-8 in the America East, also received a big match from Margaret Lapinski, who notched a double-double with 16 kills and 17 digs.

Kristin Deatherage led Northeastern (19-14, 12-3) with 22 kills, and Suzana Stojakovic added 14 digs. The Huskies have already clinched a spot in next week's conference tournament. This year marks the first year that Delaware has not qualified for the tournament since joining the America East.
