“The came out a little flat,” said Amy Julien, the Bruins’ head coach, “but as soon as they lost their jitters they found their game and worked till the end.”
Sophomore Cortney Pipher, of Battle Creek, had three kills, 37 assists, three aces and one block for the night, while freshman Tristen Ehredt, of Battle Creek, had 10 kills, three aces and five digs; sophomore Jessica Woods, of Marshall, had 12 kills, two aces and two blocks; sophomore Tara VanDenberg, of Battle Creek, had one ace and 13 digs; freshman Carmen O’Dell, of Marshall, had one ace and 11 digs; and freshman Rebecca Browning, of Rockwood, had eight kills.
