The team only achieved 38 kills during the match as they were able to capitalize on MT mistakes. The Blue Raiders hit just -.026 for the match, while San Francisco cruised with a .282 hitting mark.
The Blue Raiders began the match with confidence as they moved out to an 11-6 lead early. Chelsea Ross earned four kills in the set to lead the team, and they looked to be in control. But the Dons were able to mount a late charge as Madison Murtagh picked up five kills in the frame and San Francisco closed the set out with an 11-2 run, winning 25-20.
MT struggled against the Dons block in the set. The teams traded points until San Francisco took a 5-4 lead. From there, the Dons went on an 18-3 run to take a 23-7 lead to take control of the second set. San Francisco hit a whopping .350 in the second frame, and the Blue Raiders couldn't find an answer. The Dons took the set 25-11 to take a commanding 2-0 match lead.
San Francisco continued their hot play in the third frame, streaking out to an 11-3 lead and never looked back. They cruised to a 25-14 set win to finish off the match sweep.
