It was the second double-double of the season for Millis, who hit .261 for the evening.

Alyssa Rachwal handed out 15 assists. Junior
Aidyn Stone added nine digs, junior
Corletta Harrison posted five kills, and freshman
Jessica Donnelly served up three aces.
Each of the first two sets came down to the wire. In the opener, the Rangers scored a pair of late points – the first on a kill from freshman
Aaliyah Anderson – to make it 24-23, but Albright clinched the set by winning the next rally before Drew could force extra points.
The Lions led by four (24-20) late in the second set, but Drew rallied once again with back-to-back kills from Millis to edge within a point. However, Albright's Lily Donovan answered with her second straight set-clinching kill.
Albright used a big run midway through the third set to open up a 20-15 lead, and the Lions led by at least three the rest of the way.
Drew returns to action on Saturday, when it competes in the first of its six home tri-matches this fall. The Rangers face Rutgers-Newark at noon and Penn State Abington at 4 p.m.
