GAME ONE BOX SCORE
GAME TWO BOX SCORE
On the day, the Capital offense struggled to find seams in the attack as ONU picked up 13 blocks in the two matches. However, in game two, the Crusaders attacked in the positive racking up 35 kills in the match.
In game one,
Alissa Holler led the way with six kills while
Erin O'Connell added 11 digs in the back row. In the second half of the twinbill,

During the second set of the second match, the Crusaders found a way to capture their first set of the season with a 25-23 decision. Capital garnered control of the set early and kept the Polar Bears at bay for the duration of the set. With the score tied at one a piece, a quick four point rally that featured three straight kills from
Audrey James proved to be decisive in the set. In the much needed set win, the Crusaders also benefited greatly at the service line, collecting four aces while profiting off three ONU service errors. Cooper contributed two aces, while O'Connell and
