Coyote sophomore Kisa Sagiao (San Diego, Calif.) led all players with five kills in the set, without an error, while redshirt freshman Sarai Ross (Beaumont, Calif.) had three kills.

The third set was the tightest of the three sets on the evening, but nine kills from senior Kacie Pedersen (Riverside, Calif.) helped propel the Yotes to the win. Thanks to Pedersen's strong showing and 14 assists from sophomore McKenna Edwards (Santa Clarita, Calif.), the Yotes swung .429 in the set.
