Freshman Amanda Rice recorded her first career double-digit kill outing as she racked up 10 kills on .278 hitting clip while sophomore Riley Shaak registered four kills on an errorless seven swings as the middle to go along with a team-best five blocks including three solos.
Defensively, junior Taylor Rowland led the charge with 14 digs while senior Jade Parchment and graduate student Kaylee Frazier followed behind with 13 and 11 digs, respectively.
