the first five points of the match. After that, it was all Calvin. Senior

out 31 assists while recording five block assists. Senior Kelly Peterson
(Anoka HS) led Calvin with 11 digs. The Scots, despite hitting a .012 clip as
a team, were led by Kelly Maise with eight kills.
The story of the match was serving and receiving serve.
“I thought we served really well. We received serve the best we have all year
long. When you are able to pass well, it sets up your offense. I thought we
did that tonight.” Head Coach Amber Warners reflected.
Junior Jen Pluymert (Grand Rapids Christian HS) served a career high five aces
in the match. Calvin as a team had nine service aces.
Calvin moves to 13-0 (5-0 MIAA) on the year. The Knights return to action when
they travel to Trine University to face the Thunder tomorrow at 1 pm.
