• Paige Eason showed out on both ends of the ball, picking up 15 kills (2.50 p/s) and nine digs (1.50 p/s).

• The Blue and White could have worked in a restaurant the way they were serving up aces, combining for 30 between the six sets (5.00 p/s) led by Williams' six in the latter match and Jamika Coleman's five in the former contest.
