"Overall, we played a very good, aggressive game. I really liked our service pressure today. I think it fired us up and allowed the rest of our game to be just as strong." – head coach Sara Spielvogel on the win

TURNING POINT
With a two-set advantage, Saint Francis continued to dominate in the third before claiming the straight-set win. A kill by Maggie Hogan inched the Red Flash closer to match point at 23-14.
