QUINNIPIAC STATISTICAL LEADERS
SET ONE (20-25)
Two straight service aces for Meghan Johnsson put Siena ahead 12-9 early and forced a Quinnipiac timeout. The Bobcats would pull within a point after a kill by Legg (18-17), but the Saints proceeded to score five of the next six points to open up a 23-18 edge. Two kills by Emily Wunder finished off the first set for the hosts at 25-20.
SET TWO (25-14)
Siena opened the second set with a 7-5 lead before Legg took over. The Quinnipiac upperclassman went on a five-point service run that included three aces and pushed the Bobcats ahead 11-7. Siena was never able to recover in the set as the Bobcats carried out a dominant 25-14 frame to even the match.
SET THREE (28-26)
The third set was tight up to the midway point when Quinnipiac took a 12-10 lead on back-to-back kills by Lexi Morse. However, after an Olga Sawinska kill for Siena, the Saints rattled off a 10-2 run to go ahead 20-14 and near the third set win. The Bobcats showed great fortitude, responding with five points in a row and pulling within one. The teams traded points until QU tied the set at 23 after an Olga Zampati kill. Siena then opened up set point after a kill, but the Bobcats scored two straight to create a set point opportunity of their own at 25-24. Siena called timeout and took the next two points, but Quinnipiac once again fought back and finished the set with three consecutive points.
SET FOUR (25-22)
The fourth set was a set of runs. Siena scored three straight to lead 6-4, the Bobcats answered with six points of their own to regain a 10-6 edge, and then the Saints retook the lead (12-11) after a 6-1 spurt. Quinnipiac scored seven points off of the next ten serves to jump back out by four and did not relinquish the lead for the remainder of the set, winning the match, 3-1.

Quinnipiac remains on the road for one more weekend before returning to Hamden for seven straight home contests. This weekend's action features matchups with Rider and Saint Peter's in the Garden State.
