Andrea Bauer pitched in with nine kills and a .643 hitting percentage. Middle blocker TeAnn Harms hit a team-best .714, but was limited to just five kills while playing only the first set.

Freshman setter Keely Brown dished out a match-high 16 assists. Keifer Zimmerman led the service barrage with career-best six aces. Natasha Swiggum controlled portions of the second set with four kills and four blocks, and Kaitlin Mooney covered the back row with 18 digs.
