Toners surged from 6-16 in the opening set to stun the Blackbirds 26-24, 25-8, 25-17, While every Toner made telling contributions to their victory, all of UWI’s players shockingly underperformed.
Veteran Janelle Chase-Mayers was outstanding for Toners in blocking and middle attacks while her motivation inspired Ashley Jordan and Ashley Marshall to crush the Blackbirds with their attacks. The passing and defence of Jhada Goddard was impressive for Toners with Shamandra Shillingford coming off the bench to add to the ground play as well as crunching a number of winning serves.
