Elena delivered from both sides including this Eva Haralabatos (29 assists) backset into a right-sided kill.
Burlington showed exceptional first set defense but couldn't stop this Chloe Gentile attack.
Abby Hudson committed to this attack late in set one, delivering a critical winner to tie the set at 22.
"Form begets function." Watch the beautiful run-up of Gia Vlajkovic as she wipes the block.
Don't sleep on the defense. Emma Desmond serves and gets back into the play to fight off a pair of attacks, followed by Autumn Whelan digging a kill and Eva making another saving play.
Coach Scott Celli praised the team's poise in playing from behind. Strong clubs find ways to overcome adversity that will come during the postseason.
