Along with Sprys, nine other players all tallied kills, including Paige Morningstar with seven kills and Hannah Phillips with five. Morningstar also added four blocks and 11 digs in a strong all-around performance.
The serves of senior Allena Carmody and junior Abby Miller kept the Golden Tornado on their heels with four aces each. The duo of Carmody and Miller was strong defensively as well, totaling 16 and 14 digs, respectively. Morningstar and senior Kristen Chomos chipped in with 11 digs apiece.
