Morgan Whiteman (Camp Hill, Pa./Trinity) had a solid all-around match with 24 assists, one service ace, six digs and three block assists. As a team, SU had 19 total blocks to Juniata's nine. Kaylee Monga (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls) accounted for six of those blocks with her two solo blocks and four block assists.
