Match Summary
Set 1: Marymount started to slip away with a four-point spurt that put the score at 11-6. The Saints remained ahead by at least three points over the next several exchanges and led 21-16. A timeout by the Bullets righted the ship and the gap closed quickly with three-straight points on Marymount errors. The margin remained two before an attack error by the hosts capped the set.
Set 2: The second set featured 13 ties and five lead changes. Gettysburg pulled ahead early only to see the Saints jump in front 14-10 on an ace by Cordrey. A quick timeout by the Bullets stemmed the tied again and a kill by Stranick put the Bullets on a 7-2 run that ended with an 18-16 lead. Marymount pulled even four times down the stretch and eventually secured the win with back-to-back kills by Elissa Munsterman and Johnson.
Set 3: Marymount racked up half of its match-high 10 aces in the final set. The Saints sped out to a 19-6 lead and hit .310 in the frame.
