The Roos then dispatched the Owls 25-9, 25-13 and 25-15.  Freshman Kiana Archer (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) handed out 20 assists to pace the Roos.  Senior Abbey Shoen  (Waddington, N.Y.) nailed six kills and made five service aces.  Sophomore Caitlin Grimshaw (Adams, N.Y.) chipped in with five kills and freshman Rachel Lowther (Woodbridge, Va.) added five kills and three aces.

The Roos play two more matches on Saturday to wrap up the regular season starting with the host Highlanders at noon and then St. Lawrence University at 2 p.m.  SUNY Canton will then start preparing for the USCAA national championship they're hosting Nov. 2-4 in Canton.  The Roos are the third seed in the tournament.
