The freshmen recorded 17 kills, six assists, five serving aces and one block. The freshman are now 3-2 on the season.
In the reserve match, Greensburg fell in two games 25-21, 25-13.

"I was very pleased in the performance of these young ladies, and am confident their losing streak is about over. Once fundamentally sound, these girls will be unstoppable," added Obermeyer.
