LOCK HAVEN – East Stroudsburg University finished its 2009 women’s volleyball season on the road at Lock Haven on Tuesday night, falling in three sets to the PSAC East regular season champions.

The Bald Eagles (27-5, 16-3) won by scores of 25-15, 25-14, 25-14 and will be the top seed in the PSAC East in the upcoming conference championships. ESU concludes its year with a record of 10-21 (3-16).
