Katie Andersen had a strong night with 13 kills, and two service aces. Andersen hit .379 and her presence was dominating on the court. Morgan Woodcock also came up big, guarding the net and making some key blocks to prevent the Paladins from scoring, meanwhile tallying a few points herself.
Furman took a quick hold of the match in the opening serves, but BC quickly rallied back to take the lead and steal the win for the first game. The Paladins regrouped and came out on top after the second game, but Boston College came back for a third and fourth contest and took the match by storm.
