GAME REWIND

SET ONE (25-14): Quinnipiac came out firing, using a 5-0 run fueled by two service aces from Minlend to build an early 11-5 lead. Back-to-back kills from Belli and a service ace from Gisslen extended QU's cushion to 19-9. Minlend closed out the frame in style with consecutive service aces to seal a commanding 25-14 set-one victory. The Bobcats hit .360 as a team in the opening set while holding Saint Peter's to just .160.
SET TWO (25-22): Saint Peter's took an early 3-0 lead, but the Bobcats responded with a 4-1 spurt behind kills from Minlend and S. Ozbiltekin to level the score at 5-5. The teams traded points mid-set before Quinnipiac created separation with a 4-0 run—highlighted by an ace from S. Ozbiltekin and a kill by Ragusa—to go up 20-15. Saint Peter's rallied late to bring the set within one at 23-22, but a Peacock service error followed by a final point brought the set home for QU, 25-22.
SET THREE (25-23): Olszewska entered at setter and orchestrated a blistering attack, helping the Bobcats record 19 kills on 31 attempts (.419 hitting percentage) in the set. Kills from Vittoria Tonelli and Azra Ozbiltekin helped QU build a steady lead mid-set at 17-11. Saint Peter's mounted a furious comeback, cutting the deficit to 23-22 and eventually tying the set, but Ragusa slammed down a clutch kill to bring up match point before Tonelli closed the match with a kill off an assist from Ragusa to clinch the 25-23 victory.
