Match Highlights

• First Set: Gettysburg benefited from a bevy of errors by Dickinson in the opening contest. The Red Devils posted a negative attack percentage (-0.28) with 10 hitting errors and tacked on a bad set, service error, and two receptions errors to account for 14 Bullet points. Holding a 9-7 lead, Gettysburg went on an 11-3 run and jumped ahead 20-10 on an ace by Kuba-McCoy. The visitors polished off the set with four-straight points.
• Second Set: The Red Devils' hitting woes continued in the second set with 10 more hitting errors and a -0.81 attack percentage. The Bullets contributed to the poor hitting performance by posting four blocks, including back-to-back stuffs which made it a 15-10 lead. The blocks were part of a 9-1 run capped by an ace by Pidoriano for a 22-11 lead. Gettysburg's final points came via a big smash by Holtz on the outside.
• Third Set: The Red Devils pulled it together early in the third set and jumped out to an 8-3 lead on a kill by Elise Butler. The margin remained five at 14-9 following a kill by Hannah Riley. The Bullets retook the lead in a big way over the next few minutes, running off 11 consecutive points. Dickinson was forced to use both of its timeouts to slow the momentum, but Gettysburg would not be denied and a block by Horowitz and Bayer pushed the advantage to 22-15. The Red Devils sliced the lead down to one at 23-22, but the visitors completed the sweep with back-to-back kills by Bayer and sophomore Izzy Lugar (Wilmington, Del./Charter School of Wilmington).
