Sophomore Rebecca Holland (15 kills, 10 digs) and senior's Lindsay Wagner (11 kills, 15 digs) and Erin Spangler (11 kills, 15 digs) all had double-doubles for NU. Junior setter Kristin Ursillo added 46 assists, six digs and four service aces.
Albany was paced by Kristin Norton's game-high 23 kills and 10 digs, while Alissa Gibbs added 20 kills and nine digs of her own. Also contributing were setter Jill Dombrowski (51 assists, seven digs) and Eileen Nicole Rodriguez (eight digs, three service aces).
Neither team could pull away in the opening game, which Northeastern eventually took 30-24. The Huskies were led by Holland's seven kills on eight attacks with no errors for a .875 hitting percentage. Setters Ursillo and Dombrowski both tallied 16 kills in game one.
Game two was a close contest in the early going. With the game tied at 14-14, the game reached its 10th tie. Albany then reeled off a 6-0 run that Northeastern could never recover from. NU head coach Ken Nichols called two timeouts to try to get the game under control, but the Huskies lost game two 30-22.
Adomat and Wagner tallied five kills apiece in game three as NU won 30-18. NU outhit UA .256 to .023 in the third game alone.

Northeastern closes out the regular season portion of its schedule on Friday, Nov. 15 versus Maine at Solomon Court (7 p.m.).
