UMaine-Presque Isle 3, NVU-Lyndon 0 (25-14, 25-14, 25-16)

The opening set was tightly contested early on.  After back to back kills from Calysta Lohman (Seward, AK), the Hornets held a 9-7 advantage.  UMPI responded by scoring the next five points to grab the advantage, and pulled away from there.  The second set followed a similar script, with the early going closely contested, before a nine-point Owl run gave the hosts some breathing room.  The Hornets took an early 8-5 lead in the third set, but a 9-1 UMPI run tipped the set back in favor of the home team.  The Owls then cruised to the set win to close out the match.

Makayla Miskiewicz led the UMPI attack with 10 kills.  Setter Hailey Kelly had 21 assists and Alexis Engel and Kaylee Blazick recorded 13 and 10 digs respectively.  Emori Davis (Fairfield, TX) had five kills to pace Lyndon.  Saleena Porter (St. Johnsbury, VT) had 12 assists and eight digs while Charlotte Morris (Middletown, DE) had a team best nine digs.
