SET 2 (25-19) | It was another early fight that saw six ties and lead changes within the first 12 points of the set. The Cardinals found themselves pulling away after two kills by Clapp and one by McGarity gave them a three-point lead at 9-6. Senior Allison Waits had four kills in the set to lead the team to the set victory.
