The Vikings' attack dominated Massachusetts Maritime in the first set, recording double the amount of kills the Buccaneers had with 12. Emily Peay (Lebanon, CT) contributed heavily for Salem State as she tallied nine kills on the night. However, in set two, Salem State ran into trouble as they surrendered a six-point lead late in the set, allowing Mass Maritime to comeback. Despite their late efforts, the Buccaneers were unable to stop Salem State's front three as Peay pushed the Vikings past the Bucs.
In the third, Salem State completed the sweep as they cruised past the Buccaneers 25-19 including a 5-0 run midway through, led by Jerika Santiago (Methuen, MA) who tallied three kills during that run. Despite being swept, Charleen Klangos (Lowell, MA) carried her team with 10 kills as the rest of the team only combined for seven. Emily Calnan (Hingham, MA) recorded five aces while Stephanie O'Connor (Westwood, MA) finished with 15 digs. Emma Ethier (Norton, MA) contributed 15 assists for Mass Maritime.
Mackenzie Salls (Turner Falls, MA) posted an impressive 20 assists in the win while Santiago, Peay and Kaleena Kara (Douglas, MA) combined for 24 digs.
The Vikings will take the court again on October 17th when they travel to SUNY-Delhi for a tri-meet with MCLA beginning at 11:00 a.m. The Bucs will resume action on the 17th as well when they host Worcester State for a double-header beginning at 11:00 a.m.
