Julia Kochie '20 led the Auks with 20 kills and 14 blocks, taking advantage of several of senior Sydney Niumataiwalu's 39 assists. The setter also had 13 digs, and even threw 3 blocks. Hanna Wright '21 helped the Auks with 18 digs.
“I think we just settled in and had fun, more than just being stressed out and tensed up,” said Auks junior Abigail Kates, who frustrated Ursuline’s hitters with a team-high seven blocks. “As soon as we started to have fun, we started to execute.”
