First Set

The Raiders scored the first two points of the match, and soon they were in control. A block by freshman standout Katlyn Pierce put FM ahead 5-2 and got the team kick-started. A finesse shot by Elizabeth Hayward made the score 13-6. A kill by Karissa Morey made it 17-9. Another kill – this one by Kaylee Robinson – ended the set 25-11.

Second Set

FM scored the first nine points of the second set, due in no small part to Whitney Ostrander's three kills and her score with a beautiful placement shot.  FM moved ahead 12-4 when Ayasia Hopkins scored with a two-forearm shot with her back to the net.

Ostrander's dink shot gave FM their 20th point. A kill by Kaylee Robinson ended the set 25-6.

A nice block by Hopkins produced FM's first point. A kill by Karissa Morey gave FM a 2-1 lead. A placement by Pierce put the Raiders in front 3-2, and they built on that lead.

Another Pierce kill made the score 21-10, all but insuring a shutout win. The final set score was 25-12.

The Lady Tribunes have a perfect 18-0 season record. The Raiders' record is almost as impressive at 11-1. Their only loss was to the region's #2-ranked team, Adirondack.

FM is scheduled to play Monroe at 11:45 a.m. on Saturday. Later that day FM will play Finger Lakes (10-11) and Corning (11-7). This website will publish complete coverage of those three big matches.
