The Inside Story
Oneonta took the first two sets with scores of 25-19 and 25-19. New Paltz rallied to take the next two sets 25-23 and 25-21, before the Red Dragons captured the fifth set 16-14. Oneonta never trailed during the first two sets. New Paltz got the first point of the third set to take their first lead of the evening.

In the first set, Oneonta got off to a fast start, jumping out to an early 10-2 lead. With Clara Culeton (Oswego/Oswego) at the service, the Red Dragons went on a 7-0 run with three of the points coming on aces. New Paltz climbed back into the set after going on a 6-2 run following a timeout. The two teams went back and forth the rest of the match with Oneonta securing the win on a New Paltz service error.

Oneonta used five New Paltz attack errors along with kills from Kathryn Johnston (Altamont/Guilderland) and Clara Culeton (Oswego/Oswego) to take an early 7-2 lead in the second set. After New Paltz went on a 5-1 run to get back into the set, Clara Culeton (Oswego/Oswego) and Gillian Stieglitz (Montrose/Hendrick Hudson) had back-to-back kills to give Oneonta some breathing room. The Hawks pulled within two at 16-14, but a Victoria Moulder (Wantagh/Kellenberg Memorial) kill and a New Paltz attack error gave Oneonta the momentum back. Leading 18-15, the Red Dragons put the set out of reach with a 6-0 run with Katelyn McDonough (Guilderland/Guilderland) at the service. Jessica Fowler (Burnt Hills/Burnt Hills) set up Victoria Moulder (Wantagh/Kellenberg Memorial) for the set winning point.

In the fifth set, the two teams battled back and forth early on with score being tied on nine different occasions. With Oneonta trailing 10-9, sophomore Adriana Losier (Fishkill/John Jay) subbed into the game and quickly gave the Red Dragons the lead with a kill and block. A Victoria Moulder (Wantagh/Kellenberg Memorial) kill extended the Oneonta lead to 12-10. New Paltz would rally to knot the set at 14-14 before Jessica Fowler (Burnt Hills/Burnt Hills) fed Gillian Stieglitz (Montrose/Hendrick Hudson) for the 15-14 lead.
