Match Summary:
Hilbert showcased a well-rounded performance, with strong contributions from both the offense and defense.
Jessee Jonathan's playmaking ability stood out, leading in assists and digs, while the attacking trio of McKinnon, Kociszewski, and Revak kept pressure on the Carlow defense.
Carlow struggled to find their rhythm, particularly in the third set, as Hilbert's strong serve-receive and defensive strategy limited their scoring opportunities.
