Pleasant, PA/Southmoreland) dished out earned 32 assists, and also collected 12 digs. Danielle Woods (Pittsburgh/Baldwin) was big on the defensive side and had 19 digs in the three sets.

"It was good to pick up a pair of wins tonight, but we need cut down on our errors", said sixth year Head Coach Phil Pisano. "Roberts Wesleyan and Grove City are two strong teams and we will need a great defensive effort to have success tomorrow."
