North coach Lindsey Hawkins credited strong serving from libero Alex Seavey (11 digs) among a host of factors in North pulling out the close win.

Taylor Krage (nine kills), Claire Anderson (six kills, four blocks), Emily Carroll (six blocks, three aces) and Taryn Dal Degan (13 assists) were among the North Stars’ main contributors.
