\n\tEach side tested the other through the first 18 points, tying at each number from three to nine.\u00a0
\n\tIona began to create some breathing room midway through the opening set, as a kill from Helenn Montilla<\/a> later shortened the deficit to 17-13.\u00a0
\n\tWhile two consecutive kills from Katie Powers<\/a> kept the Jaspers within five at 22-17, Iona rallied for the final three points and secured the first set in their favor.\u00a0
\n\tPowers logged a service ace en route to Manhattan taking a 6-5 edge early in the second stanza.\u00a0
\n\tThe visitors then went out on a 9-1 stretch, as Emma Koceja made the score 14-7.
\n\tBefore the 15 point media timeout, the Jaspers ripped off five consecutive to trim the margin to 14-12, with Karsyn Harris<\/a> making two kills and Emma Francsconi tallying a service ace.\u00a0
\n\tManhattan fell back down five at 17-12, and were unable to get it any closer the rest of the way, falling 25-19 with Iona taking a two-set advantage.\u00a0
\n\tStarting with a 4-3 lead thanks to an attack error from the Gaels, the third dance saw more even play, knotting up through the first four and eight through 12.\u00a0
\n\tFrancesconi’s second service aided the Green and White into grabbing their largest lead of the set at 15-12.\u00a0
\n\tContinuing to apply the pressure, Harris found another kill to put the Jaspers up 18-16.\u00a0
\n\tYet another ace, this time from Kaitlyn Doyle<\/a>, lit up the Manhattan faithful with a 23-22 lead late.\u00a0
\n\tDespite a tie at 24-all, Iona found the final two points to win the set and the match 3-0.\u00a0
<\/p>\n
\n\tSophomore\u00a0middle blocker Helenn Montilla<\/a> tallied the highest number of kills with seven.\u00a0
