The Blue, now 11- 6 on the year, started off slowly losing the first set. However, the Blue rallied back for a strong second set performance. The team was led by sophomore Yasmine Reece (New Rochelle, NY) who finished with 15 kills, seven blocks and one ace. Reece, along with teammates Ashley Peng (San Diego, Calif.) and Kennedy Ulfig (Saline, Mich.) hammered 38 kills, and Michelle Li (Scarsdale, N.Y.) led the offense while first year Meghan Shoop (Cypress, CA) anchored the defense with 14 digs.  The game was back in forth with Wellesley winning the second, fourth and fifth matches to give them the overall victory.
