The Eagles ran away with the third set 25-12, and finished the Anteaters' off 25-15 in the fourth.Â
Senior Alayna Crabtree (Normal, Ill.) led all players with a match-high and season high 21 kills, and a .326 hitting percentage, tacking on two aces, eight digs, totaling 23.5 points for the Eagles. Freshman Halle Schroder (Frisco, Texas) was not far behind with 12 kills, one ace, and nine digs.
The offense was guided by seniors Sophia Lambros (Fullerton, Calif.) and Grace Penn (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) amounting to 49 assists, Lambros with 29. Junior Julia Haggerty (Lafayette, Calif.) protected the net with four blocks and one dig.
