Senior Lindsey Monger (Rising Sun, Md. / Rising Sun) recorded her second consecutive double-double as she tallied 21 kills and 18 digs.  Fellow senior Andrea Catucci (Davidsonville, Md. / Archbishop Spalding) was one of two Colonials to record over twenty digs as she tallied 24; the other was sophomore Melissa Bograd (Lemont, Ill. / Lemont) who knotched 21 digs.  Fellow sophomore Hannah Hoffman (Parker, Colo. / Ponderosa) recorded 43 assists on the team's 67 kills.  Becky Jay (Parma, Ohio / Padua Franciscan) contributed four block assists on the Colonials' seven blocks.

In the first set, the Colonials would fall behind early allowing the first three points before rallying for the next three.  The two teams would continue to trade points and control of the lead all the way until the two teams were tied at 13.  At that point, the Colonials would take control of the set and slowly grow a four-point advantage that would give them a 25-21 set victory.
