Mason forced a playoff game because of an extraordinary comeback in the fourth game. There were strong performances by junior Katie Mitchell who made key blocks all night and sophomore Kate Root and junior Sabrina Whitney turned in many saves.

Junior Brittany Head and senior Christie Ankenny also contributed with countless digs throughout the match, keeping the Mustangs within striking distance.

The team has been led by senior captains Ankenny and Emma O’Hara. Head said, “It was not our best game, but we worked hard and this will help us prepare for our next match against Manassas Park at their place Thursday.”
