How it Happened
• The Blue Jays took an early 7-5 lead in the first set, however the Red Devils would score three straight points to tie the match at seven. From that point neither team was able to gain much of a lead until JHU built some momentum and eventually built a 20-13 advantage and would go onto take the set 25-17.
• The second set was a back-and-forth affair as once again neither team could pull away. With Louisa Kishton serving, Hopkins would score three straight points and claim the second set by a score of 25-21. • Just like the two previous sets, the third set started out with Johns Hopkins and Dickinson playing back-and-forth volleyball. With Morgan Wu on the serve, JHU would score four-straight points to go up 9-5 and force a Dickinson timeout. An ace from Rachel DePencier and a kill by Natalie Aston put the Blue Jays ahead 13-8 and the Red Devils burned their final timeout.
• Hopkins would go on a few more runs to build up its lead and a kill by Elizabeth Wuerstle would seal the set (25-13) and the match for the Blue Jays.
