2-0 riding the play of Caitlin Bullock who pounded out 15 kills during the
first two frames, and Kelly Sullivan who added seven of her own. Erskine took
the first two sets 25-22 and 25-19.

Adeyeye recorded five kills during the set, while Hannah Helbert added three of
her own. Adeyeye ended the game with 15 smashes to lead the Crusaders while

make the Conference Carolinas playoffs. A Limestone win over Pfeiffer on
Saturday afternoon would give the Crusaders the 8th seed. Both teams

gone 2-0 over the Falcons this season.
