Junior right side Caitlin Hammecker (Warnerville, NY/Cobleskill-Richmondville) led the Gators with seven kills. Middle hitter Celia Gagnon (Troy, NY/Ichabod Crane), a graduate student, added six kills on .200 hitting, while senior defensive specialist Elaina Moisidis (Albany, NY/Albany), the conference leader in digs and digs per-set, topped all participants with 17 digs.
