We knew Puerto Rico was going to have its ups and downs, said American outside hitter Sarah Franklin. So we stayed very consistent and I thought we played very well together as a team.

Opposite, Merritt Beason, who played as a substitute in the first set and started the next three, scored 14 points on 13 kills (.526) and an ace. Forward Eva Hudson, who also entered the match as a substitute, scored nine points on nine kills.

Tonight was a good game to test us and face adversity,” Rostratter said. The changes we made in terms of having Eva Hudson and Merritt Beason on the court really had an impact on the game.

On the other side, Olivia Babcock scored seven points on five kills and two blocks. At center, Carter Booth totaled five points on three kills and two blocks. Attacker Jess Mruzik scored five points on three kills and two aces.
