Set 2 the Vikings did not start as strong but a nice serving run by Weinrich and a few big kills by Grace Johnson got the Vikings the lead they wanted. Sarah Thompson started to get all hitters in the game again and the Vikings won set 2, 25-16.

Set 3 the Vikings started down 5-3 with some struggles on serve receive. Then the Vikings went on a 7 point run to take control. Claire Strand and Morgan Berg came off the bench and hit the ball well. Adriana Torres and setter Thompson started to connect and run a more complex offense and got 3 kills in a row to seal the deal.

The Vikings won set 3, 25-18.
