THE DETAILS

• Down 20-8 in the third set, Benedictine went on an 11-0 run that included three aces from Alyssa O'Boyle and two kills from Erin Wiegand to come within one. Aurora's offense would prove to be too much as they pulled out the 25-20 win
• This is Benedictine's first conference loss at home this season and their second overall
• Aurora snapped BenU's three game win streak
• The match saw 11 ties and five lead changes

FROM THE COACH
"I was disappointed in tonight because we didn't compete the entire match," said head coach Jennifer Wildes. "We went in very prepared and Aurora played a great game. We just didn't respond very well."
