Stags (1-0) take the First Set 25-22
Fantastic ESPN3 HD video feed and crystal clear audio, no comparison to the Stags Sports Network and the WVOF audio. Not sure if that is just the cameras, microphones and broadcast equipment?
Great energy in Alumni Hall, the Stags' home court.

Stags take the first set, after a slow start. 5 or 6 Service Errors on the Stags kept them behind by 1-2 points for most of the set. Stags put in Calandro on serve, and she was the difference.
Marist playing solid, but Stags came thru in crunch time.

Stags (2-0) win the Second Set 25-22.
Stags were down 16-20 and Coach Kress said the Stags "were a little tight" in the Second Set.

Marist has to be kicking themselves, as they lost the lead in both sets. I think Stags won 9 out of their last 11 points.
