Daemen Rematch

On Thursday night we travelled to Buffalo to play NAIA Division II Daemen. It would mark the second time we saw this team, the first match being our early season scrimmage in August. In the scrimmage we lost five straight sets as we played our first match together as a team. We were excited to see how much we've improved since then.

Within the first ten points it was clear that we were a much better team than at the beginning of the season. Although we lost the match in four sets (16-25, 26-24, 25-16, 25-14), at no point did we feel like we couldn't win and at no point did our effort recede. KO finished the match with 11 kills while Lindsey had 10. Lauren Hokaj had a great night defensively, registering 27 digs.

For us, it was proof that our team has been headed in the right direction all along.
