"Madison LaBerge added five kills from our right side attack and did a nice job on the service line with three aces and 11 service points. Tori Wegdahl added four kills and four aces with some solid passing on defense.

"Haylee Budd had a tremendous match serving. She led us with 21 service points and did a good job anchoring our back row defense. Baylee Olsen added two kills and led the team with two blocks."
