\n\tThe Broncos established control early in the opening set, capturing eight of the match’s first ten points.\u00a0
\n\tManhattan responded with back-to-back service aces from Emilia Kuzniar<\/a>, and a later kill from Brooke Johnson<\/a> cut the lead to three.\u00a0
\n\tEach side continued going back and forth midway through, as Karsyn Harris<\/a> and Katie Powers<\/a> chipping in as well to kepe the lead at three at 16-13.\u00a0
\n\tWhile the Green and White held in to the end, Santa Clara was able to outlast the Jaspers and take the opening set.\u00a0
\n\tMore of the opening pace returned for the second stanza, with the Red and White taking seven of the first eight tallies\u00a0this time around.\u00a0
\n\tLyla Auth<\/a> and Harris kept things tight with another sequence of consecutive kills, trimming the edge to 10-6.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\tA subsequent 10-1 run from the Broncos continued to set the tone, going up 20-7 in the blink of an eye.\u00a0
\n\tDespite two service aces from Ori Briger<\/a> and a late kill from Abby Morreale<\/a>, Santa Clara captured the second set as well to take a commanding lead.\u00a0
\n\tIt was the Jaspers in the third set coming out to a hot start, as an ace from Kuzniar and another from Emma Francesconi<\/a> put Manhattan up 5-3.\u00a0
\n\tAfter a surge from the Broncos midway through, two kills from Francesconi capped off a spurt of points to put the Green and White back on top 12-11.\u00a0
\n\tThe two sides were knotted up at 16-all after another kill from Johnson.
\n\tEven with the resiliency, Santa Clara scored nine of the next 14, enough to lift them over Manhattan in three sets.\u00a0
