Ruest and M. Hulen led the attacks in the second set, and the scores remained close until ETCS had a run of 8 points to take the lead. The second set ended 20-25. The third and fourth sets continued in the same manner (21-25, 19-25), with ETCS taking the game. T. Reust served the most points (12) with 0 errors out of 18 attempts. M. Hulen led kills with 26 attacks and 12 kills with 6 errors. Libero, E. Hulen, had 27 digs with 3 errors, and received 24 serves with 4 errors. Sophomore setters, P. Reust and M.
