DELAND,  Fla. -- Delicia Pierre had 17 kills, and Rhea Simon double-doubled with 13 kills and 15 digs in Bethune-Cookman's 3-1 (22-18, 22-15, 22-25, 25-19) loss at Stetson Wednesday night.

Normarie Rolon had 19 kills for the Lady Cats (2-13) while Hazel Ortiz Rosado posted seven kills, 33 assists and four blocks. Lauren Turner contributed five kills and six blocks.

B-CU scored the final five points of third set -- four on Rolon's service run, to extend the match. The Lady Cats had fought back from a 15-12 deficit to tie it at 19-19.

In the fourth set, B-CU cut a 17-10 deficit  to 17-14 on a Pierre kill, but the Hatters (8-5) scored the next four points to regain control.

Simon's 15 digs were a career high for the junior, eclipsing the 14 she had against McNeese State on opening weekend. Rolon was in double figure digs for the third straight match and fifth of the last six.
