They hit .353 in the set, limiting the Blue Angels to a -.625 hit percentage. In the third set, the Red and White ran out 11-1 and coasted to a quick 25-6 final.

Mount Mary took control early in the second set and led 7-4, but the Raiders responded with a 13-1 run to take over and go on to win the closest set of the night.

Freshman Maria Bintz (Germantown, Wis./Kettle Moraine Lutheran) finished nine kills and hit .600 for the match, while freshman Rachel Lynde (Colorado Springs, Co./Rampart) had seven kills. Junior Ali Borrelli (Manhattan, Ill./Peotone) directed the offense with 25 assists to go with five service aces.

The MSOE defense limited Mount Mary to just five kills and -.143 hitting on the night. Sarah Wishau led the Blue Angels with three kills and Andrea Roell had two.
