Hart completed the double-double with 11 digs.  As a team, the Bishops turned in a solid .318 hitting percentage on the night, due in part to Kristi Lucas' 47 assists.

Against Bridgewater on Saturday, the Bishops took the first and fourth sets in exciting fashion with 31-29 and 28-26 wins to force a fifth and deciding set.  In the fifth, the Bishops erased a 5-1 deficit with a 14-1 run, which included 11 straight points behind the serving of senior Erin Augspurger.
