Natassia West earned three kills, two service aces, both of Hilbert's solo blocks and four digs.

Earlier in the day, the Pioneers from Alfred State took a straight set win (25-10, 25-11, 25-16).  Ashley Repine was tough on defense as she finished with five solo blocks adn six digs.  LeWand added seven digs and six of the Hawks nine kills.
