Rujano, Harvey Power Volleyball to Second-Straight Upset of No. 13 Lynn

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Embry-Riddle Volleyball was still packed full of energy on Saturday despite competing in an exhausting five-set match the night prior. The Eagles completely overwhelmed No. 13 Lynn, upsetting the Fighting Knights in straight sets for the team's second ranked win of the season.

Isabella Rujano and Fifi Harvey were efficient on the attack with 24 kills combined and only two attacking errors in 48 attempts. The Eagles took advantage of a key player missing for Lynn as the Fighting Knights were without the Sunshine State Conference's top setter in terms of assists per set, Ula Gorjup.

Embry-Riddle - 15-10, 8-7 SSC (T-4th)
