Trabosh hustled to 15 digs in the loss.

The Griffins proved to be the superior side from the opening serve, sprinting out to a 9-5 advantage before eventually tasking the opening set 25-21. USciences (4-12, 0-4) attempted to slow the Griffins in the second set, but the Devils only managed to delay the Griffins to a 25-23 win as freshman setter

Alexandra DePalma (Shillington, Pa.) for nine kills in the frame. She killed four more balls in the third set where the Griffins earned victory with a 25-21 win. Trabosh led three Griffins in double-digit digs with 20 in the affair.
