Nelson and Payton Stack had 10 kills and Morrison chipped in with eight kills. Macy Bourn had 15 digs, Davis had 13 and Kyle Meltzer had 11. Brandt and Davis each dished out 13 assists.

"We're a very young team so emotionally we were up and down and we've got to be more emotionally solid", said head coach Austin Albers. "Our serves need to be better so we don't give away so many easy points".
