Albemarle’s Lexi Brown led the way on offense with eight kills and two blocks while Sarah Woods and Chelsea Woodfolk had seven kills each.
Hannah Deal finished with 17 points and eight aces to dominate from the service line and Michaela Malboeuf chipped in a pair of aces. Taylor Bauman’s 14 digs led the Patriots while Ellie Benning dished out 28 assists.
