Although suffering a loss, the team did show off their talented players as Wheeler and Schreiber combined for 18 of Castleton’s 34 kills. Valastro led Castleton in assists with 13. Sherman led her team and had a tie for the match high in digs, registering 19. Valastro, Wheeler and Schreiber each had 11 digs while Paige Lacey added on another 10 digs.
