How it Happened:
The Lions looked to slow down a red hot Susquehanna team early in the first set. The Lions were able to keep it close before the Red Hawks pushed the lead to 14-6. A run by the Lions would bring it within a few points before the Red Hawks would close the set taking set one 25-18. In set two, the Lions got off to a slow start going down 4-0 early. With a strong defense behind them the Lions would fight back keeping in within two points late in the set before two quick kills by the Red Hawks would end the set 25-22. The Lions would fight in the third set but would not have enough left in the tank as they fell 3-0 to Susquehanna.
From the Stat Line:
- Malika Sharifi – 7 Kills, .538 Hitting %
