In set three, both teams were even at 13 in the middle of the set before Jamestown’s Anna Holen picked up four kills in the final 12 Jimmie points to go ahead 2-1. Concordia put up another strong fight in the fourth, but it was Kalli Hegerle who delivered the final blow at the service line with an ace, one of five on the night for Hegerle.

Hegerle had a triple-double for the second consecutive match with 32 assists, 15 digs, and 14 kills. Holen matched her career-high 20 kills to lead all attackers and she also picked up 19 digs. Lexi Olson recorded 14 kills as she, Hegerle, and Holen all hit above .400 for the match.
