Lindsay Fujimoto '15 added 10 digs and Shelby Carroll '13 contributed two blocks.

The first set was tied at 10-all before the hosts went on a 6-0 run and never looked back. It looked as if the Statesmen would take the second set easily, too, after breaking out to a 17-12 edge.

However, Grinnell roared back and eventually tied it at 20-all on Moore's serve and even went ahead 21-20. That was followed by three ties before Grinnell reached set point when Weidman's kill made it 24-23.

The Pioneers were at set point again later as another kill by Weidman made it 26-25, but that was followed by two more deadlocks before William Penn won by two.

The third set saw Grinnell trailing just 11-7 after Briggs' kill before the hosts went on a 7-2 run to pull away for good.
