The Lancers had multiple standout performers on the night. Gabby Caucci had 14 kills, 11 digs, and one ace. Adrianna Real pounded 18 kills and had six digs and four aces. Naseem Hennouch distributed 39 assists, and added one kill, three digs and an ace. Kamila Mateo Rivera kicked in with two kills, three digs and two aces.
