On the Acadia side of the net Alana Murphy tallied 10 kills, while Nicole Davidson and Alyssa Berry each added 7 on the way Acadia’s 25-18, 25-21, 25-17 victory.

Sunday Acadia 3 Memorial 0 (boxscore)
In Sunday’s rematch the story was much the same as the Axewomen defeated the Sea~Hawks 25-19, 25-12, 25-21 on their home court. Alyssa Berry had 9 kills and no hitting errors for Acadia, while libero Pam Giordani had a match high 21 digs.

The Sea~Hawks will now take Christmas break to re-group before they open 2010 at home on January 8th when they host the last place Université de Moncton Aigles Bleues at the Field House. The Sea~Hawks faced their share of adversity opening the season and look to settle in and find a rhythm in the competitive AUS.
