The final set of the match Beaver kept the heat on Greater Allegheny with their serving which was led by freshman, Brittany Davids (Beaver Falls, PA/Blackhawk) who had 5 total aces on the night.  In addtion to aggressive serving, Beaver hit very consistently from the middle and the outside.  Leading the offensive attack were junior, middle hitters, Kayona Ward (Beaver Falls, PA/Beaver Falls) and Natalie Gamble (McKees Rocks, PA/Sto-Rox) as well as freshman, outside hitter, Madeline Hill (Monaca, PA/Central Valley) who each had 5 kills on the night.
