Playing in their last home stand of the season, the girls delighted fans with their high spirits and show of camaraderie. They were fired up and enjoyed defeating the Rams in two games, 25-16 and 25-10.
In the second game, Megan Gutsch served for 12 unanswered points, including nine aces. She also completed a total of five spikes including one kill for the match.
Alyssa Luna provided six service points, 10 spikes, and five kills.
Teaira Turner served for four points including one ace. She completed two of four spike attempts and one kill.

Alisha Barney provided four spikes, three kills, and one block.
