Barry surrendered just two errors in 29 swings to equal a .379 attack percentage, while Nowicki also hit well with a .290 average on three miscues in 31 total attempts.

Leading New Haven to a team-hitting average of .203 for the match was the setting duo of junior Angela Chan (Jacksonville, Fla./Bishop Kenny) and freshman Sammie Paguia (Ashburn, Va./Stone Bridge) who closed out the night with 32 and 14 assists, respectively. Also among the offensive leaders was junior Kali Greathead (Temecula, Calif./Temecula Valley) who added four points to the Chargers tally on service aces, leading her team to eight total on the night.
