MADISON, Wis. – Facing a 2-1 deficit after three sets, the Edgewood College Women's Volleyball team came soaring back with wins in sets four and five for a thrilling, and important, NACC win over Dominican University Friday night. The Eagles (5-12, 3-1 NACC) also won the opening set in the NACC victory.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- The fifth set was all Eagles, who jumped out to a 7-3 lead before closing out the 15-11 set win. Senior Amanda Meister had two key kills in the final set, while Abbey Maier, who posted a career-best 19 kills, recorded her 19th with an exclamation point for the final point of the night.

- Maier was outstanding from the get go with 15 kills over the first three sets before ending the night with 19. She hit .441 for the match, making just four attack errors throughout the night.
