The Lady Paladins took an early edge, winning the first game 18-16, but the Eagles proved too much for them to handle, as BC took the next three 15-12, 15-4 and 15-9.
In the day's early match, host institution South Florida defeated BC in straight games, 15-2, 15-10, and 15-6. Against the Bulls the Eagles managed just 27 kills and a .035 kill percentage. Freshman middle blocker Nancy Legan (Westlake, Ohio) led the Eagles with seven kills.
