The Eagles again got the jump on the Bobcats, taking an 8-2 lead on a kill by Jacobson.  A pair of aces by Jordan Holcomb with a kill by Taylor Martin in between gave ERAU a 16-6 lead, and the home team would go on to take the set, 25-13, sweeping the match, 3-0.

Holcomb and Abby Hall each tallied 10 kills on the night, with Holcomb adding two aces, eight digs and six blocks.  Jacobson picked up seven blocks and eight kills with a .667 hitting percentage.  Vazquez recorded a match-high 34 assists and Nina Kontrec registered a match-high 17 digs.
