The match was tied twice at 19 and 20 before Lafayette scored the last five points to win 25-20.



The Lady Hornets fell behind early but came back strong to assume a 8-2 lead behind the play of Kelsey Land. The Lady Hornets never looked back from that point of the contest. Land would later serve up the final six points in giving her team a victory in the opening match.
