Set Breakdown
  • Set 1: Kills from senior captains Mary Kate McCarroll (Harrison, Ohio) and Christina Nye (Plaistow, N.H.) enabled the Warriors to go on a 5-0 run and build a 13-6 lead in the opening game. The Penmen recovered to pull within on, 15-14, but the Warriors won four of the next six points to hold a three-point lead (19-16). The hosts answered with five unanswered points, and despite Merrimack recovering to take a 23-22 lead, the Penmen rattled off three unanswered points to end the frame and snatch a 1-0 lead
  • Set 2: A back-and-forth second game tilted in favor of the Warriors, 14-10, following consecutive kills for junior Sofia Basauri (Beaverton, Ore.). With the score at 16-14, the Penmen embarked on an 11-3 set-closing run to take a 2-0 advantage to the third frame   
  • Set 3: Merrimack won 10 of the first 15 points to force the Penmen to burn an early timeout. SNHU emerged from the stoppage, however, and won 11 of the next 12 points to establish control of the set. The Penmen handled the rest of the set from there, winning by a 25-15 final
