Against Curry, Redding notched a team-high nine kills with nine digs and a service aces.

For the season, Redding has racked up 85 kills, fourth-most in the NECC, while hitting at a .230 percentage with 51, ten blocks, and seven service aces.

Redding and the Blazers will return to the court with a road trip to Westfield State Wednesday night. Opening serve is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
