Olivia Muir added 18 kills for the Orediggers (18-8 overall, 4-3 in the Frontier Conference) and Karina Mickelson had 11 to give Tech three players in double-digit kills.
Sarah Hopcroft led Tech's defense with 34 digs and Hannah Oggerino and Hudsyn Dibrito each had 12. McKenna Kaelber had 57 assits.
The Saints (11-12, 4-3) were led by 14 kills from Taelyr Krantz and 10 from Leie Gleasman. Krantz also had a match-high 7 blocks. Julia Carr had 18 digs for Carroll and Hannah Schweikert provided 21 assists.
