MATCH ONE
HOW IT HAPPENED:

Rowan led 22-18 in the first set when WP took a timeout to regroup. The Pioneers came out of the timeout with a huge kill by freshman Natalie Zabloudil (London, Ohio/London) and a Prof attack error to pull within two. The two teams traded a point, including another kill by Zabloudil, before the Profs grabbed the 25-21 victory.

Trailing 24-21 in the third set, freshman Cecilia Miller (Virginia Beach, Va./First Colonial) posted two kills and a service ace to cut the lead to one and Rowan called a timeout. The timeout followed with two Prof attack errors to give WP a one-point advantage (25-24). Freshman Kristian Glenn (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay) ended the set with a kill for a 26-24 Pioneer win.
