Rapid Recap Saint Joesph's College of Maine:
- Trailing 12-9 in the first set, a kill by senior Anna Allen (Los Angeles, CA) sparked a three-point run for Colby-Sawyer to knot the score at 12. The Monks quickly took back the lead in which they maintained for the remainder of the set taking it off the Chargers 25-19.
- Senior Sam Mohammed (Killingworth, Conn.) led the Charger offense in the second set opening it up with an overpowering kill followed by a bad set from the Monks and another Mohamed kill to receive a 3-0 advantage. With the score tied at seven, the Monks saw an opportunity and ran with it, taking the second set 25-15.
- Needing a set win to stay afloat, the Chargers offense produced 11 total kills to take the third set 25-21 off the Monks. First year Ally Majenski (Marshfield, MA) and junior Ameesah Cotten (Newburgh, N.Y.) evenly shared six out of the 11 kills with others coming from Mohammed, junior Mia Harmon (Concord, N.H.), and first year Makaila Blinne (Palm Bay, FL).
