How It Happened

EMU got the service break, but three more attack errors gave the Eagles the momentum and the lead back at 21-17. EMU regrouped before a Meyers kills followed by one from Regan Stoop to give BC set points. EMU fought off the first, but a kill from Gabby Atwell gave Bridgewater the opening set at 25-20.

The Royals took a 6-5 lead momentarily before a kill from Stoop sparked a four-point run as a Faith Shields ace made it 9-6.
