KEY HIGHLIGHTS
• In tonight's match, the Falcons posted season highs in hitting percentage (.118), service aces (13) and blocks (5).
• Albertus stormed out to an early 4-0 lead in the first set, building its advantage to as much as 14, 23-9, following a feverish 10-1 run midway through the frame.
• The second set mirrored the first, as the Falcons built an early advantage and held on after a CCNY rally.
• The third frame went slightly different, with the Beavers going ahead 4-0 to begin. This slow start did not deter Albertus, however, as an 8-1 surge swung the momentum right back into the home team's favor.
• Senior Ashley David (West Islip, N.Y.) paced the Falcons with nine kills on the evening.
• Sophomore Jaiden Williams (Orange, Conn.) orchestrated the offense with a match-high 17 assists.
