The Red Flash won the opening set, 25-22, but the Blue Devils responded to take the next three sets by scores of 26-24, 25-22 and 25-20.
Freshman Samantha McCreath tallied a double-double with 17 kills and 16 digs, while classmate Emma Henderson added 15 kills and 21 digs. Sophomore Erin McDermott had 31 assists and junior Kaitlyn Kushman added 27.
