Junior outside hitter Lizzy Morton totaled a team-high eight kills and three service aces while sophomore libero Dani Sayler added 10 digs to lead the Knights to the shutout win over RIT. 

Junior setter Bethany VanDerMeid added 19 assists directing the Knights attack, while the defense held RIT to a .107 attack percentage on the afternoon.
