The second stanza was the best set for the visitors from Missouri. The Lady Bobcats used two big runs, a 7-0 run and 9-0 run, to win the second game, 25-9.
The third set was the most competitive of the night. Lyon was flying around defensively and attacking C of O's defense. The Scots took an early 7-5 lead after a kill from
Courtney Erby, assisted by
Kaitlyn Jackson. The Lady Bobcats regained their composure, though, and stormed back to win the next six points of the match, taking an 11-7 advantage. Lyon would cut the deficit to just one, 17-16, after a
Kaitlyn Jackson kill. However, the visitors would win the most critical points of the third frame, winning the set by a score of 25-21 to sweep the Scots.
