That set the stage for the decisive fifth set in which coach Emilie Clemons’s crew prevailed by a 15-13 decision.
A number of Lady Patriots contributed to the winning effort with superb performances. Senior middle Samarah Meristal delivered seven kills and made four blocks. Sophomore outside hitter Haley Peralta added six kills and served five aces. Seniors Dayana Ortega and Basma Sahibi each had five kills. Junior Anna Doucette served six aces and senior Isabella Arroyave delivered five aces.
