THE BASICS
Final Score: Benedictine 3, Concordia Wisconsin 2 (25-21, 23-25, 25-23, 25-27, 15-13)

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Concordia Wisconsin wasn't as consistent as it had been in previous league matches and as a result, Benedictine took a five-set match to end a winning streak that stretched a week shy of three years on the calendar.
- The Falcons hit .200 for the match, compared to the Eagles .229 at the net. In addition, they struggled at the service line, with 19 errors, while the hosts also served eight aces.
- Concordia Wisconsin had the opening set tied 18-18 prior to Benedictine scoring three in a row and ending with a 4-2 scoring run to win 25-21.
- Kills on the last three points by the Falcons allowed them to earn a 25-23 second set win and knot the match on the scoreboard.
- Benedictine hit just .143 in the third stanza, but it didn't matter because the visitors had its worst offensive performance during a set with a .026 attack percentage, thus resulting in a 25-23 win for the Eagles.
- Trailing 24-22, the Falcons clawed their way back by putting together a 5-1 scoring run to push the match into a deciding fifth set. Of the five points scored, two points came from Eagles errors.
- Concordia Wisconsin worked its way back from a 13-9 deficit and had the match at 14-13, but a Benedictine kill ended the contest.
- Senior Amanda Schultz (North Prairie, Wis.) and freshman Sophia Collins (Lake Mills, Wis.) each had 13 kills for Concordia Wisconsin, while Junior Holly Anderson (Grant Park, Ill.) tallied 11 kills.
- Senior Haley Sedo (Neenah, Wis.) accumulated 32 assists and 18 digs. Senior Mackenzie Wockenfus (Appleton, Wis.) recorded 22 assists, nine digs and three service aces.
- Juniors Kelsey Kleba (Hartland, Wis.) and Kendall Stribling (Greenfield, Wis.) each had four block assists.
- Taylor Dunwell led all players with 25 kills and 20 digs. Molly Stock added 15 kills, while Alyssa O'Boyle had 55 assists, 13 digs and six service aces.
