"Springfield is a great team, and again we were able to play at a level that is hard to reach versus a weaker team," Taconic coach Lance Fyfe said. "This was our last regular season match and  great way to go into the post-season."

 

Jaydn Galliher led Taconic's offense with 10 serves and also contributed 10 serve receives and 10 digs.

 

Natalia Dos Santos had  team-high 26 digs to go with 20 serve receives.

 

Nyashia Daniels and Navaeh Williams each had six kills.

 

Brenna McNeice, who started the fourth set with a six-point service run, filled the stat sheet with 19 digs, nine assists and eight aces.

 

Taconic (12-4) awaits its first-round opponent in next week's Western Massachusetts tournament.
