Reap helped power the Chargers' defense this week as they went 3-0 including two conference victories and a five-set win at home over Messiah on Thursday for Dig Pink night. After missing Tuesday's matchup against Wilson, Reap returned for the Chargers' battle with the Falcons, recording 21 digs as the Chargers prevailed 3-2. On Saturday, Reap continued her prowess on defense with 19 digs in a three-set sweep of Penn St. Brandywine, totaling 40 digs for the week in two matches for 5.00 digs per set. Madison also led the Chargers behind the service line this week, landing nine total service aces including a season-high six aces against Messiah with another three against the Lions. Madi currently ranks second in the United East in digs per set (5.08) and is 10th in the conference in aces per set (0.51) as the Chargers currently hold the third-seed in the United East standings with three conference matches to go.
 
Helms had the best finish for the Chargers on Saturday at the Aubrey Shenk Invitational in Gettysburg, Pa., finishing 52nd overall with a time of 25:56.2 for the best conference finish of the week. The Chargers finished 30th out of 44 scoring teams on Saturday with Helms finishing with 49 team points, crossing at the same time as athletes from Division I universities like Saint Bonaventure and Lafayette.
