Arjes once again led the Lady Devils at the net with six kills. Aase added four kills and eight blocks on the day. Dahl had 10 set assists and Hemann added eight digs with a pair of ace serves.
"Even though the score doesn't reflect it, we stepped up to the challenge in this match," Heim said. "We ran a fast offense and really were scrappy on defense. We really clicked as a team."
