Sophmore Erin Bognar led the late surge and finished the set with five kills and a block assist.
 
After a quiet first set senior Michaela Reesor came alive for the Bulldogs and posted six kills to lead SU to a comfortable 25-17 win. That victory gave Samford a 2-0 lead going into the intermission.

It was all SU in the third set as the Bulldogs continued to improve its blocking at the net and it forced WC to alter the Terriers attack strategy in a convincing 25-15 win.
 
Reesor and Bognar paced the offensive attack with 10 kills a piece while Russell and sophomore Gabbi Greenwald notched six and five blocks respectively.
