HANOVER, Ind. – The Panthers celebrated Senior Day Saturday afternoon with Rose-Hulman, recognizing lone senior Amber Miller (Louisville, Ky.). Hanover made it a special day for the senior as they dominated the Fightin' Engineers in straight sets (25-21, 25-17, 25-21).
 
Leading the charge for the Blue and Red was sophomore Adrianne Vance (Indianapolis, Ind.) with a game-high 13 kills. Sophomore Emma Harmon (Carmel, Ind.) chipped in nine kills, while junior Kelsey Ketcham (Mishawaka, Ind.) added a game-high 27 assists.
