HOW IT HAPPENED
  • vs. Maranatha Baptist
    • MSOE (1-4, 0-0 NACC) came out of the gates firing, leading 9-3 from the jump. After a pair of points from Maranatha Baptist (0-2), the Raiders put the hammer down, ending the first set from there on a 16-1 run, highlighted by a pair of aces from Annabella Visak and two kills from Katie Moser, to win 25-6.
    • After opening the second set leading 6-1 with aces from Abby Balkema and Nina De La Cruz, the Raiders made another double-digit run, this time 10-0 with two kills from Rylee Hull to make it 22-7. The Sabercats made a run of their own to make it 23-16, but Balkema sealed it a kill, 25-16. The Sabercats kept things competitive in the third set, keeping it within three at the midway point. Back-to-back kills from Sydney Emineth sparked a run to end it, 25-16.
    • Hull led the way with six kills, with Balkema right behind her with five. Joelle Harrington did a majority of the setting, having 12 kills while Brooke Fledderman added six. The Raiders totaled nine service aces on the night, led by Visak with three and Brenna Fledderman with two.
  • vs. Benedictine
    • Benedictine (2-4, 0-0 NACC) took a slight advantage early on until kills from Balkema helped tie things multiple times throughout the first set. Natalie Martinez nailed an ace late in the first set to cut the deficit to one, but the momentum finished on the side of the Eagles as they took it 25-21. The Raiders found a spark midway through the second set, especially at the net making three blocks in the middle of a 9-1 run to take a 18-9 lead. The Eagles roared back to make it 21-19 until Balkema ended it with a block and then a kill to tie up the match 25-20.
    • With the Eagles gaining momentum in the previous set, they fully attacked the third set, taking a 14-5 lead early on before the Raiders stormed back to tie it at 20. With each side trading blows, the Eagles put in the final nail, stealing it 26-24. The Eagles then gave everything they had in the fourth set, blowing away the Raiders to win 25-10.
    • Balkema led the way with 12 kills, followed by Ashley Murphy with eight. Morgan Borchardt totaled 18 assists, while Maddie Abel made 14. Natalie Martinez controlled the backline, making 23 digs, while Alyssa Rusch controlled the net, making six blocks.
