Trailing 11-6, the Lions got some big plays from Mariah Edgington led the Lions on the comeback. A 7-0 run for Spring Grove gave them a 14-13 lead, and the carried it out for the victory.

Set 3 was very exciting as well, even though the Lions led throughout to get the 25-16 win and sweep. Houston got some solid play from Jennifer Albrecht and Ariel Scanlan, but they just couldn't make solid passes from back row to front row.

The Lions were very successful in that department, getting the ball into Kailee Olerud's hands efficiently, as she was able to set up Edgington and Lauryn Bohr. They put great swings on the ball, which made it difficult for the Hurricanes to set up their offense.

Amber Chapel and Rebecca Lee were bright spots on defense, along with Albrecht who made some nice blocks at the net. They just couldn't overcome the offensive power of Edgington and Bohr, who played great at the net.
