Three Luginbuhl aces gave SHU a 17-11 lead in set one. The Pioneers let the Seawolves tie the set at 24-24 before Reghan Palanchi produced a kill then teamed up Jasmine Rogers for a block.

After dropping set two, the Pioneers grabbed a quick lead in set three that it would not relinquish. Two Brooke Jeffrey kills came between winners from Anderson and Luginbuhl.

Tying her career-high was Luginbuhl with a match-best 23 kills. She also had a great defensive performance with 13 digs and a career-high five blocks. Rogers had her second double-double in a row with 14 kills and 15 digs. Setter Sarah Ciszek had 52 assists, her most since producing 56 against Hartford on October 20, 2019.
