Final set scores were 25-27 (NDC), 26-24 (LEC), 16-25 (NDC), and the Falcons secured the match with a final set victory with a final score of 22-25. 

The first match of the night was Lake Erie's best, as the team had a set hitting percentage of .208, with 15 kills. The second set of the night was shaky, hitting .077 percent with 11 kills and eight errors. The Storm was able to rebound and hit above .120 percent in the last two sets of the match, but it was not enough to get the job done against a solid-hitting Falcons squad.

The junior hitter recorded 11 kills on 25 total attempts with just three hitting errors, for a hitting percentage of .320. She also was involved in four block assists.

The Storm heads to the 2019 Crossover tournament in Indianapolis, in which they are slated for three matchups against teams from the GLIAC and GLVC. Be on the lookout for a preview for everything Crossover related tomorrow.
