THE LEAD — Salem State University picked up a 3-0 (25-14, 25-3, 25-17) non-conference win over host Lesley University on Tuesday evening in NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball action at Minuteman High School. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Back-to-back kills from Sabina Kamanda gave the Vikings a quick lead that they'd never lose in the opening set, rolling to a 25-14 win while collecting 13 kills as a team in the frame.
• The Lynx took an early 2-0 lead in the second frame thanks to a pair of SSU errors before Maya Lily Dunn took the service game for the next 24 points, including four aces, in a 25-3 romp.
• The sides traded points to a 3-3 score in the final set before a 7-0 flurry pulled Salem State in front, 10-3. The Lynx got kills in the set from Shea Thomas (Clayton, N.C.), Korinne Hall-Johnson (North Brunswick, N.J.), Estephany Morales (New York, N.Y.), Alawnah Dunda (Fort Anne, N.Y.) and Rayann Fatahi (Arlington, Mass.).
