The second match of the day featured a dominating team effort offensively, with a total of eight different BMCC players recording a kill. Middle hitter Stela Vaso continues to impress for the Lady Panthers, the freshman tallied a team-high 7 kills during the match, including a few powerful spikes to help the Panthers get back on track after trailing early in the final set.
