Decisive passage

At 23–23 in the third, Emily Campbell and Jacey Olsen blocked KiLee Kuhlman to create match point. Campbell then finished from Ellie Nieporte’s assist. East Stroudsburg had produced 18 kills in the set at .405, but Anderson answered with 16 kills at .412 and won the final two rallies. [1]

Player impact

Campbell led the Trojans with 13 kills, Ava Reeves added 11 and Maura Kindel eight. Nieporte supplied 39 assists, Jamie Juhnevicz ten digs and Kaleigh Garren three aces. Olsen and Kindel each recorded three total blocks. Anderson also led 8–5 in aces. [1]

Mayberry’s take

The close third set does not contradict Anderson’s efficient match. East Stroudsburg sharply improved its own attack in that frame, creating a different challenge from the first two. Anderson still limited mistakes and produced the decisive block-and-kill finish. That combination is the clearest takeaway: strong full-match efficiency paired with execution at a late tie, rather than a sweep that was equally easy throughout.

Conference context

This was nonconference play. The result adds to the season’s evidence without changing the SAC standings. Subsequent matches will show whether the performance patterns here persist against different opposition.
