It was the upperclassmen getting it done on the evening as two seniors both set career highs. Brandie Clark (Medicine Hat, Alberta/Medicine Hat), who is playing her first season as the team’s primary setter, notched a career-best 56 assists. Fellow senior Jenna Mapé (Calgary, Alberta/Father Lacombe) recorded a career-high 24 kills, en route to hitting a .283 on the night. Junior Lizaiha Garcia (Dayton, OH/Beavercreek) tied her career high with a 30-dig performance, as she was one of five UB players with double-digit digs. Clark and Mapé both completed the double-double, notching 16 and 10 digs, respectively. Also recording a double-double was fellow senior Nikki Morzenti (Safety Harbor, FL/Clearwater), who finished with 17 kills and 12 digs.

However, the newcomers got into the action as well and contributed to the team effort. Freshman Lauren Fensten (Centennial, CO/Smoky Hill) notched a personal-best 12 digs and sophomore Claudia Neba (Aurora, CO/Smoky Hill/Rutgers) notched eight kills and four total blocks, including one solo. Sophomore Alyssa Fitchette (Watertown, NY/Watertown/Genesee CC) recorded seven kills on the evening and a match-high six total blocks.
