Senior middle blocker Sydney LeMay made the season-high with 18 kills and a career-high six solo blocks in the Mid-American Conference home opener. Overall, she finished the night with eight total blocks, only one shy of gaining a career high. Sophomore libero Kathleen Reilly also claimed 20 digs, while freshman outside hitter Rachel Bontrager had a double-double with 14 kills and 10 digs. Junior setter Mary Murphy had a match-high of 49 assists while freshman Cassandra Smigiel finished with a career-high of 9 kills.

The first set had the Arena a little nervous for the outcome of the match.
