How It Happened

The Phoenix attempted to claw back with a 4-0 run with kills from Riley Cramer (FY, Chambersburg, Pa. / Chambersburg) and Abby Moreland (Sr., Sabillasville, Md. / Catoctin), but any momentum was short lived as the Chargers went on a 12-3 run to take the first. In the second, another Cramer kill kept Wilson within one at 7-6 early before Lancaster Bible answered with five-straight points. Jayda Lichty (FY, Hanover, Pa. / Southwestern) and Ashlynn Babbitt (So., Edenton, N.C. / John A. Holmes) answered with back-to-back kills, however each time Wilson attempted to go on a run LBC was able to counter.
