Laura Grasel finished with a game high 14 kills in the middle, while
Vivian Goto and
Emma Pannell did their damage on the outside with 13 kills each. The reigning NJCAA Defensive Player of the Week once again showcased her talents, as
Emerson Heatwole led the Golden Eagles with 20 digs and pitched in eight assists.
Dalayni Brindley dished out a team high 32 assists, while her running mate,
Mary Irwin had 12 in the victory.Â
The win moves the Golden Eagles to 18-6 overall, and 7-2 in Scenic West play, as they now prepare for a rematch with the Cardinals, tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. It will also be Sophomore Day where the Golden Eagles will honor their five sophomores as they take their home court for the final time here at the College of Southern Idaho.Â
