"What a great night of volleyball," said head coach Jen Outman. "Our passing game was phenomenal. The girls were picking up serves and hits and getting their passes up nicely to the setter."

Ryann Adams (10), Cathryn Brought (9), Caitlin Callahan (7), and Megan Starkweather (11) were leading passers and Megan Starweather had 2 spikes and 1 kill

"The kill was  unbelievable," continued Outman. "Our hitting game was on point as well."

Caitlin Callahan (4 spikes, 2 kills, and 2 tips), Ryann Adams (2 spikes and 2 tips), Cathryn Brought (1 hit), and Morgan Stone (1 hit).

"I was extremely impressed by our setting tonight," Outman said. "Many girls stepped out of their comfort zone in order to set the ball to a hitter."

Cathryn Brought lead the team with 7 sets, Ryann Adams (5), Megan Starkweather (4), Caitlyn Callahan (2) and Skylar Runyan (2).

"Troy was a tough team, but the girls worked well together as a team, hustled, and had great communication. A well-deserved win!"
