The Blue Devils were strong behind the service line, accumulating 12 aces.
Fredonia then quickly swept Plattsburgh in the afternoon match, 3-0 (25-16, 25-12, 25-14). DiChristopher had seven kills and four aces, while fellow middle Jane Garrity (Victor, N.Y. / Victor) had seven kills of her own. As a team, Fredonia hit .373 against the Cardinals.
