Kelsey D'Imperio thumped a kill to make it 19-18. As if that wasn't good enough, D'Imperio stretched her arm back all the to Sr. Marguerite's back yard.

Natalie George slammed down the 23^rd point, followed by a Victoria Limmina service ace and George sealed the deal with another kill to win the set 25-21.
