HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Greyhounds got off to a slow start, falling behind 0-5 early in the opening set.  Four errors by ENMU stifled their aggressive play.
• Three kills by Alix Russell helped tie the set and besides a small stumble to give the Grizzlies another five point lead (19-14), the Greyhounds kept it close the entire set.
• The second set saw ENMU fall behind big quickly, as they fell behind 19-6 and could never make up the deficit.
• The third set saw the roles reverse as ENMU jumped out to an early four point lead and never look back.  Up by as many as 10 points the Greyhounds never let up to take the third set.

• While ENMU had 138 attacks compared to their opponents 113, errors would ruin the offensive onslaught.  The Greyhounds recorded 27 errors compared to the Grizzlies 11.
