Brown commanded the opening set with a 25-8 win behind a .387 hitting percentage and posted eight or more aces for the third consecutive match.

Sophia Miller led all players with 13 kills and four aces, Gabby Derrick and Beau Vanderlaan recorded three blocks apiece and Kate Danaher finished with 37 assists.
