Lola Owokoniran and Morghan Martin were named to all-tournament team after career days as George Mason women's volleyball (4-9) went 1-1 on day two of the Red Flash classic at St. Francis (Pa.).

“We are still working on our ability to play intense, consistently,” head coach Pat Kendrick said. “These pre-conference matches have been great in helping us prepare for the A-10 schedule.”

The Patriots started the day with a 3-1 (26-24; 25-20; 15-25; 26-24) win behind an all-around team effort. Mason trailed for much of the first set, before battling back to take the lead at 24-23 and held on from there, taking the set behind the play of Morghan Martin, who had seven kills in the first set alone and 16 on the match.

The Patriots would hold the lead from start to finish in the second set, taking a 2-0 match lead. However, the Red Flash would bounce back in set three to prevent the sweep. The fourth set was the most contested with the lead changing hands three times in addition to six ties.

In addition to Martin's 16 kills, the junior had two aces and 12 digs. Owokoniran and Jessie Greenslade also put up big numbers in the win. Owokoniran registered a career-high 14 kills and three blocks while Greenslade added 12 kills and 18 digs. Kelly Schaller contributed with a match-high 31 assists.

Martin followed that performance up with a career-high 20 kills to go with 16 digs and an ace as the Patriots fell 3-2 (21-25; 25-20; 25-16; 23-25; 13-15) to Morgan State. Greenslade was right behind her with 18 kills on the match to go along with an ace and eight digs. The Patriots also out-blocked the Bears 25-16 with Owokoniran coming through with seven assisted blocks.
