The four-set score was 25-16, 25-13, 29-31, and 25-17.
Coach Geoff Braun was impressed with his team overall: "Our offense was consistent and everyone contributed. I thought we controlled most of the match with our serving and passing."
The Blue Devils improved in every set in Saturday's match. Hitting nine kills in the first set and 16 in the fourth. More importantly, their hitting percentage improved from .161 to .500 throughout the sets.

The bench boss added, "Kourtney Krchniak (Lockport) did a great job with her decision making today. Christie Ackendorf (Amherst, N.Y.) was very effective attacking different zones with different speeds."
