Five separate Dolphins had four or more kills against the Panthers, starting with the impressive first-year duo of Anna Nolasco and Alyssa Padgett, who each had eight kills. Junior Dominique Otranto added five of her own while Sienna Martin and Sophia Mandalakis and four apiece. 

Padgett, Otranto and Mandalakis were specifically efficient, hitting .889, .714 and .571, respectively. 

Stephanie Rodriguez continued her season long trend of a robust stat line. The freshman setter had 25 assists, nine digs, three service aces and two kills. Paige Staley added a team-best 10 digs while Carly Synder led the charge with six service aces, bringing her season total to 23. 

"I was very happy with the win today. Our last four matches were really tough, so it was great to get back on track," said head coach Joseph Chojnacki. "It was a great team effort. We did all the things we needed to be successful: hit for a high percentage, serve well and pass well in serve receive. It was a great way to finish the week."

The Dolphins will look to keep the momentum in their favor with a home tilt on Thursday against St. Joseph's University Brooklyn.
