Senior Elle Shatto led the team in kills with a total of 20, followed by first-year Bryanna Miller with 14.

In the third set for the win, Etown came 10-8 in the half and took a two-point advantage. Although they did not keep this lead, they were able to still take the set.

Etown’s next win was 3-1 over State University of New York at Oswego. Etown was down by six points midway through the first set. The Blue Jays were able to come back with kills by sophomore Elizabeth Zeiber and Shatto. The Blue Jays took the win but not without some resistance from Oswega.

The third win for the Blue Jays was 3-0 against the University of Valley Forge, and the last match against State University of New York College at Cortland was a 0-3 loss for the Blue Jays.
