NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – The Merrimack College women's volleyball program plays its final two matches of the regular season at home beginning on Tuesday night when the Warriors host Southern New Hampshire University at 7 p.m. in a Northeast-10 Conference tilt from Hammel Court.

  • Also against the Setters, sophomore Catherine Flaherty (North Andover, Mass.) registered seven kills on 29 attacks, her fifth-most attack attempted this season
Inside the Series:
